The indebtedness of Charpentier to his teacher Carissimi resonates throughout this glorious programme of petits motets for Lent… Ensemble Pierre Robert's resonant textures and skilful dramatic timing make these heartfelt performances spring to life: two tenors (one of the them a haute-contre - high tenor, not a countertenor) and a baritone sing a succession of gorgeous short sacred pieces, full of beautifully emotive polyphony. Gamba, theorbo, bassoon and organ provide an assortment of accompaniments, richly dramatic or coolly detached according to the requirements of the text.
