Reminders:

Remember those Flemish LPs with Benoit's cantatas "Rubens" and "De Schelde" and "Requiem"?

Benoit's "Hig Mass" was also available later on Discover and on Etcetera CDs:

In fact, these are already available on Spotify, as are all the other recordings mentioned by Adriano.

I take it Messe solennelle is the same work as the High mass/Hoogmis. A recording of the Requiem was issued back in 1992, but the Te Deum seems to be new to recordings?

(A fair number of other works by Benoît, of course, not just those listed above, have been recorded, including his Charlotte Corday overture and a collection of his piano music, eg...)

Not to reduce thanks for the notice. Hope to hear this sometime (if inevitably somewhere other than Spotify, in my case.)

This new Benoit albums is super and gorgeously presented. Very recommendable.
Yes, the "Hoogmis" once recorded by Rahbari is the "Messe solennelle" of the new album (conducted by Martyn Brabbins)
