Charpentier: Aupres Du Feu L'On Fait L'Amour - Serious Airs

“Percé jusques au fond du coeur” (“Pierced to my heart’s depths”) is a tragic proclamation of Le Cid’s voice, at last put to music by “Mr Charpentier, famed for a thousand works that charmed all of France”. Under the direction of Stéphane Fuget, the cream of French vocalists restores the original aura of these gems, with glittering ornamentation. (CDV)
