5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent sacred choral music, October 21, 2007

This review is from: Charpentier - Divertissements, Airs et Concerts / Daneman · Petibon · Eikenes · Agnew · Sinclair · Piolino · Le Monnier · A. Ewing · Les Arts Florissants · Christie (Audio CD)

After had listenned this disc, I recognized that M.A.Charpentier were really a the one of best sacred choral musician, not even for frech, but also in baroque period. I feel he had been ignored for a long time. I am appreciated that Christie and les arts florissants did their best to record this great compositer and develop to glorify.

Althought I am limitted to full understand the language and regional meaning of his music, however, I still enjoy his music boundlessly.
