In one of the most magnificent recordings ever made of French baroque music, Ex Cathedra perform the only versions available of 3 grands motets (2 of them world premieres) that represent the sacred music of Louis XIV's Versailles at its finest.
"De profundis is overwhelming, one searing dissonance melting into the next and the animation of the music is matched by the performers". BBC Music Magazine
"These performances are technically superb, with carefully phrased and balanced choral singing." Classic CD
"...vividly characterised performances that can be warmly recommended to far more than baroque specialists" Guardian
"...this record is a joy to hear" Laudate |
