Unusually these three church cantatas are accompanied by a cello, which was uncommon, especially in church: in this case<br />

the five-string piccolo, fashionable at the start of the 18th century. The key to the originality and coherence of this recording<br />

by the Ensemble Baroque de Limoges, with Concerto Vocale Leipzig, is to have approached these works from the<br />

instrumental angle.<br />

Conductor Christophe Coin, who studied with Jordi Savall and Nikolaus Harnoncourt, has, for the last 30 years, been<br />

France’s most fervent apostle of the music of the 17th and 18th centuries. It all came together in 1993: his first love of<br />

baroque music, his quest for authenticity in the interpretation of known and lesser known repertories, his approach to<br />

voices and period instruments, his work as a cellist himself, never sacrificed to a career as conductor…<br />

The record won a Diapason d’or, ƒƒƒƒ from Télérama and a Timbre de platine from Opéra International.
