Notes and Editorial Reviews
The magic of Christmas sung in French, English, German, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian, Latin by a French leading choir. Ever since its creation in 1999, Arsys Bourgogne has developed a unique project highlighting six centuries of vocal repertoire. Conducted by the Luxembourg native Pierre Cao, the choir is now considered to be among the best in Europe. Using a flexible formation, ranging up to 32 singers, Arsys explores all choral repertoire, both a cappella and accompanied, from early music, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, through Romantic and 20th century music to that of the present day.
