Anticipation is high for this collaboration between the Namur Chamber Choir—an elite Belgian ensemble that consistently brings together the finest talents of the moment—and the highly skilled instrumental ensemble formed by Alarcón. Under the reign of Louis XIV, Lully wove a unique sonic world by employing a vivid and dynamic musical language even within the church. This recording meticulously unravels the subtleties of his style through a 17th-century orchestra—centered on a five-part string section using the basse de violon instead of the double bass, and complete with brass and percussion— and a chorus of just the right size.\nAralcon has presented dynamic performances of Mediterranean early music alongside Latin-American early music players with Capella Mediterranea, while with the Millennium Orchestra, he has delivered exciting period performances of Classical-era works. As someone thoroughly versed in 17th-century Italian early music—which could be considered the “prehistory” of Lully, who was actually of Italian origin—his approach to Catholic church music, including the masterpiece “Te Deum,” is undoubtedly worth noting. With its dynamic contrasts and meticulous attention to detail (note that Patrick Cohen-Akeninu, a leading authority on French court string music, has been invited as concertmaster for this recording), this new Lully recording is one you won’t want to miss!\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53525309227297,"sku":"4589538743444","price":2970.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538743444.jpg?v=1789730760","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538743444","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
