Quel bonheur de voir que tant de jeunes talents , bien formés par une tradition bien assise , perpétuent cet art musical sur instruments anciens , qui m'a tant aidé à vivre à la fin des seventies , alors même que je peinais à trouver mes valeurs dans un monde de moins en moins fait pour moi.Tant de guerres tant d'irrespects tant de saccages de la nature nous éloignent de vrais solutions pérennes. L'art perdure heureusement pour nous tirer de nos renoncements .
I congratulate the performers of this amazingly beautiful music . And Charpentiers sacred music is wonderful with its variety of soloists, chorus and instruments , constantly changing in an unpredictable and pleasing way. No wonder his music was so much loved by his contemporaries, and today
Gawd, I love this work! And bravo Eric. As Rachel sez, brilliant! It was also a treat to hear one of SG's instruments ... finally I see a *lot* of him on Facebrick and he strikes me as a verrry intelligent and fine organ builder.
This really is an exquisite performance. The soprano who sings the Laudate rivals any of the European sopranos who have recorded this. Bravo Mr. Milnes and company. So pleased that an American ensemble masterly performed this wonderful work so admirable... TRULY!
Taking the double fugue fast is thrilling but the magic and depth of the music and words is diminished. This is, after all, a Requiem mass. I doubt Mozart would have taken expected it played with such vigor and energy.
