Sebastien Dauce & Ensemble Correspondances Charpentier Pastorale de Noel 2LP (Vinyl)

& lt;img src= & quot;/content/images/christmasbells.gif & quot; align= & quot;right & quot; hspace= & quot;10 & quot; & quot; & gt; & lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Classical Christmas Music On Double LP! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;On this recording, S & amp;#233;bastien Dauc & amp;#233; and Ensemble Correspondances recreate Christmas Eve as it was celebrated in France during the reign of Louis XIV. Charpentier's Pastorale depicts the shepherds' vision of the angel and their pilgrimage to the manger in Bethlehem. The music is especially charming, filled with examples of the & quot;pastoral & quot; style favored by French Baroque composers. Originally releases on CD and digital, this recording is now available as a deluxe 2LP set. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;Double LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Gatefold jacket & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made in EU & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;musicians & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Musicians & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;table & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Ensemble Correspondances & lt;/th & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;S & amp;#233;bastien Dauc & amp;#233; & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;conductor & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;/table & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Marc-Antoine Charpentier (1643-1704) & lt;br & gt; Pastorale sur la Naissance de Notre Seigneur J & amp;#233;sus-Christ & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;h5 & gt;Side A: & lt;br & gt; Premi & amp;#232;re version H.483 & lt;br & gt; Premi & amp;#232;re Partie & lt;br & gt; & lt;/h5 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Ouverture & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sc & amp;#232;ne 1: Que nos soupirs, Seigneur, r & amp;#233;veille tes bont & amp;#233;s & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sc & amp;#232;ne 1: Il est temps Seigneur que tu paraisses & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sc & amp;#232;ne 1: Ecoutez-moi, peuple fid & amp;#232;le & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sc & amp;#232;ne 1: Cieux, r & amp;#233;pandez notre ros & amp;#233;e & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Simphonie de la Nuit & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sc & amp;#232;ne 2: R & amp;#233;gnez, calme profond & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sc & amp;#232;ne 2: Dans ces lieux & amp;#233;cartez & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sc & amp;#232;ne 2: De l'univers entier, apprenez le bonheur & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h5 & gt;Side B: & lt;/h5 & gt; & lt;ol start = & quot;10 & quot; & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sc & amp;#232;ne 3: C & amp;#233;lestes compagnons & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sc & amp;#232;ne 4: Gloire dans les hauts lieux & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sc & amp;#232;ne 4: Paix en terre & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h5 & gt;Seconde Partie & lt;/h5 & gt; & lt;ol start = & quot;13 & quot; & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sc & amp;#232;ne 5: Pasteurs, & amp;#233;veillez-vous & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sc & amp;#232;ne 5: H & amp;#233;las, cette brebis si ch & amp;#232;re & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sc & amp;#232;ne 5: Heureuse, mille et mille fois & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sc & amp;#232;ne 6: Joignons nos fl & amp;#251;tes & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sc & amp;#232;ne 6: Sont-ce pas nos bergers ? & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sc & amp;#232;ne 6: Cette nuit d'une vierge aussi pure que belle & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sc & amp;#232;ne 6: Oui le loup infernal & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sc & amp;#232;ne 6: Joignons nos fl & amp;#251;tes & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Ritournelle & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;C'est de l'homme aujourd'hui & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h5 & gt;Side C: & lt;br & gt; Grandes Antiennes O de l'Avent & lt;/h5 & gt; & lt;ol start = 23 & quot; & gt; & lt;li & gt;O Salutaris, H.36 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;O Sapienta H.37 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;O Adonai H.38 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;O Radix Jesse H.39 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Or nous dites Marie (no & amp;#235;l instrumental) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;O Clavis David H.40 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;O Oriens H.41 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;O Rex Gentium H.42 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;O Emmanuel H.43 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Or nous dites Marie (Ballard) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h5 & gt;Side D: & lt;br & gt; Pastorale, Seconde Partie & lt;br & gt; Deuxi & amp;#232;me version H.483a & lt;br & gt; & lt;/h5 & gt; & lt;ol start = 33 & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sc & amp;#232;ne 5: Heureux bergers, Sc & amp;#232;ne 6 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sc & amp;#232;ne 6: Mais qui ne serait pas touch & amp;#233; & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Non, l'haleine secourable & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sc & amp;#232;ne 7: Votre tendresse est & amp;#233;quitable & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Chantez donc & amp;#224; l'envie & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Faisons de nos joyeux cantiques & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Menuet de la Berg & amp;#232;re & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Ne laissons point sans louanges & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h5 & gt;Pastorale, Seconde Partie & lt;br & gt; Troisi & amp;#232;me version H.483b & lt;/h5 & gt; & lt;ol start = & quot;41 & quot; & gt; & lt;li & gt;Le Soleil recommence & amp;#224; dorer nos montagnes & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Belle mais imparfaite figure & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Oui Seigneur & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Source de lumi & amp;#232;re et de gr & amp;#226;ce & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

Mozart: Requiem in D Minor, K. 626 [Hybrid SACD with CD-ROM track of Mozart's Original Manuscript]

Beethoven called Mozart s Requiem wild and terrible, and that s what we get in Harnoncourt s new recording. Ominous dread hangs from every note of the dark opening measures, the Rex tremendae and Confutatis are driven with terrifying strength, and the supplications of the Lacrimosa, with their weeping stabbings of the orchestra, are freighted with emotional power. The Tuba mirum duet of bass soloist and trombone has a beauty almost never achieved in other readings. Nor does Harnoncourt overstep the stylistic boundaries of this classical-era work; rather, the intensity is heightened for being in the idiom of its time. Call it a Romantic reading of a Classical piece that looks forward to a more unbuttoned era. The soloists couldn t be better; the orchestra is first-rate, the chorus, sensational, singing with a sense of color, line, and emotion,. Harnoncourt uses the Beyer edition of S?ssmayr s completion of the work, and Mozart s unfinished original manuscript can be accessed via a CD-ROM track, which scrolls as the music plays. This release gets my vote as the best Mozart Requiem on disc, all the more impressive for being a live concert performance in excellent sound. --Dan DavisUPC:828765870528SKU:ADIB00022UO9I
