| Jean Périsson |
The liner notes tell us that the Chorale is an outgrowth of an ensemble led by Marcel Couraud, a relatively well known conductor. His younger colleague Périsson had won the Besançon conducing competition a few years before, and was embarking on a long career (he is apparently still with us). This is one of Périsson's few recordings.
Périsson provided the arrangements for the first six carols on the LP. The intimate sound is very pleasing - an enjoyable disc!

Woo-hoo, you're back! Hope you had a great time!
ReplyDeleteErnie - Excellent, thank you! Lovely weather in your state last week.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Buster for this French collection of Christmas songs. Some are famous , others are rarities. Excellent Vocal Ensemble, perfect diction. Périsson used to have a name here in France, in particular as opera conductor. Unfortunately he did not leave many recordings. I remember his Carmen sung.....in Chinese.....
ReplyDeletecenturi - Thanks for the information! I saw from Périsson's wiki entry that he also handled the French repertoire in San Francisco for a number of years.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this. We had this LP in our home when I was in high school and college, but it disappeared somewhere along the way. How nice to have it once again.
ReplyDeleteStephen - Your family had good taste! Mine inclined to the likes of Mitch Miller.
