St. John Cantius of Chicago stands uniquely in the United States as a classical epicenter for the sacred and the beautiful. Founded by Polish immigrants at the end of the nineteenth century, the parish today represents a broad cross-section of every ethnic, socio-economic and age group. Recently, The Chicago Tribune, reported St. John Cantius, was awarded “The Most beautiful Church in the United States.” On any given day- one can step through the doors and be easily transported to different historic periods and countries via exquisite liturgies, devotions (including sung Vespers), orchestral concerts and recitals, paired with the gorgeous European architecture.
From the heart of Chicago, St. John Cantius presents the St. Cecilia
Choir and Orchestra bring us the classic Süssmayr completion of Mozart’s
Requiem. This fresh interpretation of Mozart’s iconic Requiem is
beautifully phrased and brings out delicate nuances rarely heard.
From the firey Dies Irae to the plaintive tenderness of the Recordare,
listeners appreciate the rich and tender sounds of this choir and
orchestra. Recorded at the venerable St. John Cantius and re-released on
De Montfort Music/Sony Classical in 2017.
