Recorded in the beatiful church of Notre Dame, Rozay-en-Brie, by Concerto Delle Donne, this recording celebrates 300 years of Marc-Antoine Charpentier, whose works ranged from simple settings of hymns composed for unaccompanied solo voice to works of great complexity and virtuosity for soloists, double choir and double orchestra. Here, the focus is on the sacred works that Charpentier composed for two and three solo women's voices. The three principal sopranos of of Concerto delle Donne all feature as soloists. Other composers included here are Jean-Baptiste Lully, Nicholas-Antoine Lebègue & Guillame-Gabriel Nivers.

Press Reviews
Collectors Reviews
"'Donna Deam, Faye Newton and Gill Ross sing beautifully, with support from six other sopranos in chorally reinforced sections. Their polished vocal blend is complemented by expressive sincerity and stylistic integrity.'' "
Gramophone
"'These are charming performances of charming music. Warmly recommended.'' "
MusicWeb International
"one of the better-preserved French organs of the seventeenth century... The sound quality on this CD is absolutely fantastic, as is the singing. The organ continuo on some of the pieces provides a spectacular effect that can only be produced in a cathedral-performance setting. Lovers of French Baroque music will need to include this CD in their collection "
Opera Now
"an engaging combination of tenderness and deeply felt devotional fervour ... the singers' delectably pure, sweet sound, rhythmic liveliness and stylish ornamentation perfectly capture the spirit of some beautiful and inventive music "
