This children's choir, these voices so well trained and reflecting thorough work in teaching and educating ' what a joy it is to listen to it! In the cathedral of Vaison-la-Romaine, or in the Festival des Choeurs Lauréats, their voices have summoned up the great Spanish polyphonic traditional while telling us that this is the world in song through the songs of so many countries. Listen to them, and listen to them again, do!
