On his new double SACD Léon Berben takes us to France and presents us the complete hymns by Jehan Titelouze (1563 - 1633), published in 1623.
The historic organ in Juvigny's Notre-Dame church was built in 1663 by Jean de Villers and Jacques Carouge. It is one of the best preserved early baroque instruments in France and a perfect instrument for this repertoire. Berben's judicious and colourful registrations and his much-praised ornamental artistry are the result of extensive source studies and let this music, often described as "austere", emerge in new splendour.

Little by little, Jean Titelouze is taking a prominent place in the discography. The present complete Hymnes de l'église offers a completely renewed interpretation, based on the practices in use at the beginning of the XVIIᵉ century, both for the interpretation and for the way of registration. Léon Berben signs one of his most beautiful albums.

As a composer he is regarded as among the greatest early Baroque composers of France, and is credited as the first composer of the French organ school. His Hymnes de l’église of 1623, featured in this album, and his Magnificat settings written three years later, are considered his finest achievements...
