Jean Langlais: Missa Salve Regina



I got this CD today.....I'm guessing that this is a little known Composer?
I had never heard of him before!
He was a more modern composer living from 1907 till 1991 and He was also blind.

Here is the info I found on Him threw Wikpedia

This CD is different....very "Church like" with Organ and Choir.
It's actully quite nice and might not be for everyone. :rolleyes:
I got it pretty reasonable with 2CD set of Verdi's Requiem I bought from a Ebay Seller. ($6.95 shipped MINT...Verdi I got for $12.95 shipped MINT)
*Maybe I'll do a blurp on the Verdi Requiem later*
