The Maria Laach Abbey Church celebrates the successful completion of its organ renovation in the most magnificent way imaginable: Father Philipp Meyer OSB, conducts the Cappella Lacensis in French Romantic organ masses in dialogue with both organs. At the premiere of the Widor mass in 1878 in the Saint-Sulpice church in Paris, 240 voices were heard in the double choir. The RheinVokal concert as part of the Laach Festival Week does not quite reach this number of voices, but nevertheless unfolds the same splendour of sound, including in Vierne's wonderful organ mass from 1906.

Louis Vierne:

Messe solennelle, op. 16

Jean-Charles Gandrille:

Mass à deux choeurs et deux orgues, op. 36
