The Chant Café

IdleSpeculations offers a tribute to Msgr. Perosi, the director of the Sistine Chapel choir back in the day when Pope Pius X issued his Motu Proprio on sacred music. As part of the post, which has some wonderful material, we are given a link to a 1904 recording of Kyrie VIII - not very artful singing but consider the technology - this is not a live space - and perhaps but styles change over time. It is a very interesting audio file - here is a direct link. Print this post
