"Gérard Lesne sings beautifully throughout, whether the music is light-hearted or serious, and II Seminario Musicale provide excellent support." Gramophone Magazine, July 2007
The pieces presented here by Gérard Lesne were probably sung by Charpentier at the Hôtel de Guise for the privileged circle of his patron Marie de Lorraine, and are either first recordings or currently unavailable on disc.
"Gerard Lesne, an experienced interpreter of 17th- century French music, together with the other members of Il Seminario Musicale, brings Charpentier's miniature oratorios vividly to life… This recording is definitely going on my list of this year's favourites" Gramophone on Gerard Lesne's previous Charpentier disc
