The boys’ choir Cantores Minores and the Musiikkitalo organ indulge the listener with the most magnificent French church music of the Romantic era. The musical works for the cathedrals of Paris are joined by Gabriel Fauré’s beautiful morning prayer.
Composer-organists Charles-Marie Widor and Louis Vierne were known for their enchanting mastery of transforming the organ into an orchestra. In the early 1900s, their reputation attracted eager audiences from as far away as North America. In their mass compositions, Widor and Vierne wrote parts for no fewer than two organs. Seated at the instruments are the cantor of Pirkkala parish, organist Liisa Aaltola, and organist Olli Pyylampi from Kallio parish.
