Service Sacré
"It is a work of love, it is the voice of a creature communicating with his God, and I hear that when I hear the Service Sacré," declared Madame Madeleine Milhaud, the composer's widow, when, at age ninety-eight, she was interviewed by the Milken Archive in advance of this first-ever complete recording of Milhaud's greatest Jewish work. Presented here for the first time with the settings for the Friday evening liturgy, which were composed after the work's commission and premiere at Temple Emanu-El in San Francisco, the Service Sacré can finally be heard in its entirety as the composer intended.
Reviews and Recognitions:
"...one of the best settings of this liturgy..." —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"...beautifully scored orchestral backgrounds....Gerard Schwarz leads the Czech Philharmonic with energy and lends the lyric sections the tenderness they need." —Dan Davis, ClassicsToday.com
"Once again, Naxos, in conjunction with the Milken Archive of American Jewish Music, has come up with another winner. Strongly recommended." —Jerry Dubins, Fanfare
