For the Charpentier year in 2004, Glossa has prepared a beautiful box (limited edition) with three recent recordings of France's foremost specialist in the composer, Hervé Niquet. Including all the original notes and texts, the set provides an excellent overview of Charpentier's œuvre, both vocal and instrumental, starting with the impressive Te Deum and ending with the reflexive Lamentations. A fine opportunity to get the best French music at a low price.
