Marcel Pèrés makes his Cappella Romana début directing an all-male chant ensemble in a program of medieval Latin hymnody for St. James.
The ensemble will sing directly from facsimiles of the Codex Calixtinus, the medieval manuscript recently stolen from the Cathedrol of St. James in Compostela, Galicia, Spain.
With his celebrated Ensemble Organum, Marcel Pèrés has made over 40 recordings of Latin chant and polyphony including Beneventan, Old Roman, Gallican, Carolingian, Mozarabic, Baroque and Renaissance repertoires.
