Te Deum H 146 [Audio CD] William Christie and Charpentier Marc Antoine\n\nProduct DescriptionInternational products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions.Review...One corner-stone of Harmonia Mundi's success has been the exploitation of a genre of French music that had long been a closed book even to devoted searchers of the offbeat and obscure...What treasures [the French Baroque repertiore] turned out to contain: foremost among them the music of Marc-Antoine Charpentier...The resplendent and familiar Te Deum is given an electrifying reading in Christie's best hyperactive style, with charming French Latin. Also included on the reissue is one of Charpentier's several settings of the Laurentian Litany: Litanies a la Vierge, H83 is exquisitely scored for six voices and two treble viols and is ravishing even by Charpentier's standards. --Piers Burton-Page, International !
