CHORAL FUSION OF THE ARTS SACRED MUSICROMANTICISM

A skilful organist and excellent improviser, in the lineage of Bach and Handel whom he so deeply admired, Mendelssohn devoted a significant part of his output to sacred music. The Namur Chamber Choir explores fourteen of his motets, with organ or a cappella, pages that alternate between delicacy and strength, carried by a sincere and profound faith. Organ professor at the Luxembourg Conservatory and titular organist of the monumental instrument of Saint Martin’s Church in Dudelange, Alessandro Urbano accompanies the choir and also performs two solo organ works.
