The Play of the Pilgrims to Emmaus is a typical example of the liturgical drama of the High Middle Ages. As much by its musical quality as by its dramatic and spiritual richness, this piece brings us back to mind this too little-known period when the medieval man wanted to see, hear and touch the mystical realities.

Originally released in 1990.

"the matchless Ensemble Organum under Marcel Pérès responded with pungently evocative singing" Neil Fisher, The Times

"The voices will sound more nasal, less like classically trained singers, than on most recordings of chant. The solo chants will emphasize that peculiar voice quality, and will sound almost improvisatory in their meandering melodies and abrupt rhythms. This chant does NOT sound like a group meditation in a serene retreat for overworked professionals. The bottom line? You'll either love it or hate it" amazon.com review
