Choeur de l'Orchestre de Paris

**Choeur de l'Orchestre de Paris** is the official choir of the Orchestre de Paris, one of Europe’s most prestigious symphonic ensembles. Founded in 1976 under the orchestra’s first principal conductor, Charles Münch, the choir specializes in large-scale symphonic-choral works, bringing powerhouse vocals to iconic pieces by composers like Mahler, Berlioz, and Poulenc. With a reputation for precision and versatility, they’ve become a cornerstone for the orchestra’s performances of monumental works—think Mahler’s “Symphony of a Thousand” or Poulenc’s hauntingly beautiful *Stabat Mater*.

Over the years, the choir has collaborated with legendary maestros, including Daniel Barenboim and Paavo Järvi, and regularly performs at major venues like Paris’s Philharmonie. Their recordings, including the ones you’ve listed, showcase their ability to swing between lush Romanticism, dramatic opera choruses (hello, *Cavalleria Rusticana*!), and 20th-century sacred music with equal dynamism. Whether onstage or in the studio, this choir brings serious firepower to every note.
