Henri Carol - Prière à Notre-Dame de Miséricorde - Ben Bloor

Prière à Notre-Dame de Miséricorde by Henri Carol performed by Ben Bloor on the 45 stop 1954 Downes/Walker organ of the London Oratory Church on Sunday 24th December 2023.
Henri Carol was both a musician and a priest. This dual vocation gave rise to an abundance of organ music composed around plainsong and the liturgy, including this brief but beautiful meditation on the simple tone 'Salve Regina'.
Ben Bloor is Organist at the London Oratory Church and School Organist at Westminster School. For more information, please visit www.benbloor.com

A beautiful performance, Ben: bravo! It's lovely to hear the softer stops and gentler side of this magnificent Downes/Walker Organ and the tranquil 'Prière à Notre-Dame de Miséricorde' by Henri Carol enables this perfectly.

this is very beautiful Ben and beautifully played - thanks for the biographical notes on the composer unknown to me.
