La Maitrise de ToulouseConductor
Mark OpstadAbout
Each piece is an arrangement of a folk melody sung in its original language, no fewer than seventeen languages, which is probably unheard of on disc. Together, they constitute a programme of enormous contrasts and vivid musical colours, ranging from a simple four-part choir to a large double choir.
Founded within the Conservatoire de Toulouse by its current director, Mark Opstad, nearly 20 years ago, the Maîtrise de Toulouse received the Bettencourt Prize for choral music in 2017 at the Académie des Beaux-Arts, it has built up a discography composed of children's and young adult voices that showcases its varied repertoire, from the Renaissance to the contemporary.
