Amazing Grace - Live from Notre Dame

Notre Dame’s re-opening on December 7, 2024 marked not only the restoration of a historic monument, but the reaffirmation of a global symbol of perseverance - an inspiring reminder that beauty and faith endure. A highlight of the ceremony was the performance of the timeless hymn Amazing Grace by South African soprano Pretty Yende, accompanied by the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France under the baton of Gustavo Dudamel. Opening a cappella, Yende’s luminous voice resonated throughout the newly restored cathedral. As the orchestra entered under Dudamel’s expert direction, the music evolved into a moment of profound reflection and unity. One year on from this momentous performance, the live recording is released on the Platoon label.
