With this second volume of airs sérieux and airs à boire, William Christie continues his exploration of this vast repertory of song settings of lyric and pastoral poetry, here focussing on such masters of the genre as Boesset, Moulinié, Lambert and Le Camus.
Presented by his expert team of singers and instrumentalists, these exquisite miniatures - amongst which is ingeniously interspersed Charpentier’s charming Pastoraletta - reveal all the nuances of the being in love.
A delightful compendium enhanced by the superb artistry of the performers.
