Composer

• Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632 - 1687)

Notes & Reviews:

"As director of one of the king's orchestras and Master of Music of the Royal Family, Lully's job included providing music for various entertainments, mostly ballets and other orchestral and stage works. Sacred choral music came later in Lully's career, and these recording offer his most important masterpieces in this genre. Le Concert Spirituel is an outstanding modern advocate for Lully's music, with fine soloists, an excellent chorus that knows the true meaning of "ensemble", and instrumentalists (and conductor) who understand the importance of rhythm in realizing this music's full effect." -Classics Today
