The Taizé Community
A new recording, from Deutsche Grammophon, made at Taizé and featuring the voices of the brothers, with guest artists and young pilgrims. The chants range from the very familiar to the most recent, and include elements of the Community’s own Liturgy of the Hours. All are sung and played impeccably, and even the best known such as Bless the Lord, my soul sound fresh and new. The varied instrumental obbligatos reveal new levels of beauty every time, and every piece is an object lesson, from the Community itself, in how Taizé music is to be sung and played. Six languages are represented in this truly international collection.
