Title: French baroque at its finest
Product review: I added this inexpensive CD just to fill out an order, and after listening to a few tracks knew that it was destined to become a favorite.Delalande was one of the most important composers of French sacred music, particularly the Grand Motet. His style is reminiscent of a contemporary, Marc-Antoine Charpentier, and reeks of the grandeur of the Royal Court under the Sun King, Louis XIV. The performers are stellar, featuring vocalists who understand the baroque style. The instrumentation is varied and authentic, with continuo lines on solos and duets passed between the Theorboe, bass viol and organ. In all, a wonderful performance of wonderful music.
