Laetentur caeli ‘Motet de St Barthélémy’
Venite, exsultemus Domino
Trois Leçons de Ténebres
Magni?cat

Couperin’s Trois Leçons de Ténebres are amongst the small amount of the composer’s sacred music that was published during his lifetime. They are intensely personal, depicting the prophet Jeremiah’s bitter anguish in settings that are quite unique. Also included here are Couperin’s joyful motets Laetentur caeli and Venite, exsultemus Domino, and a remarkable Magni?cat.

Countertenors James Bowman and Michael Chance are celebrated not only as great soloists but matchless duettists.

‘I enthusiastically urge you to obtain this recording …an outstanding recording by any standards, all four artists contributing to a truly memorable experience’ (CDReview)
