Mark OpstadAbout
Infused with echoes of plainchant, it exploits the resources of two a capella choirs, with the full gamut of choral textures ranging from the austerity of the Kyrie, the richness of the Gloria, the breathtaking virtuosity of the Credo, the brilliance of the Sanctus, to the sublime beauty of the ending of the Agnus Dei.
The Martin is coupled with Maurice Duruflé’s universally-loved Requiem – the first recording by a French children’s choir, and featuring mezzo-soprano Juliette May, a former member of the Maîtrise, and Alain Buet, one of France’s most distinguished operatic baritones, as the two vocal soloists.
The Maîtrise de Toulouse was founded in 2006 by the English conductor, Mark Opstad within the Conservatoire de Toulouse. It consists of soprano, treble, and alto choristers, aged 11 to 15, together with older members and some professional adult singers providing the tenor and bass sections. It is unique amongst the French Maîtrises in that the children are entirely educated within the Conservatoire as in the English choir school model.
In 2017 the Maîtrise de Toulouse was awarded the major Prix Bettencourt for choral music, from the Académie des Beaux-Arts. This is their sixth recording on the Regent label.
