Paris orch and chorus go uncredited on US #1 hit

Paris orch and chorus go uncredited on US #1 hit

This week’s unexpected Billboard chart-topper is a studio retake of ‘Mea Culpa/ca ira’ from the Paris Olympics opening ceremony. It features heavy metal band Gojira and mezzo-soprano Marina Viotti.

Missing from the credits on the recording are the Orchestre de Paris and its chorus, let alone their conductors.

Klaus Mäkelä was somehow unavailable to conduct the recording session. Barbara Dragon directed the orchestra and Richard Wilberforce the chorus. They deserve a shout-out, to go with their #1 status.
