Description

This CD brings together Ensemble Stradivaria, one of France’s foremost Baroque string ensembles, and the Studio de musique ancienne de Montréal with the Bande Montréal Baroque in a world-premiere recording of Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s (1643-1704) Trois Grands Motets and Messe à 16 voix en 4 chœurs. These pieces have been especially edited for the Montreal Baroque Festival by the Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles. These choral works, including the 4-choir Messe, were recorded in hybrid multi-channel SACD.
