| This is a mixed bag, but it is a mixture of wonderful stuff put together with considerable expertise. Marc-Antoine Charpentier was a major composer of the French Baroque, served at the Sainte-Chappelle in Paris, and wrote much music of solemnity and grandeur, but was also principal composer for the Comedie Française where he wrote music of a lighter nature. What we get here is mainly the latter, more directly entertaining Charpentier, and we get it in the forms of airs serieux, which are refined songs intended for court circles, and airs a boire, in a more popular style. Interspersed among the songs are the six movements of the very moving 'Concert pour quatre parties de violes' which provide effective contrast. Bookending the program are two little musical plays, the divertissement 'La Pierre Philosophale,' a goofy satire on the occult, and the pastorale 'Dispute de Bergers,' in which a band of shepherds debate the nature of nature itself, human suffering and healing, which, it is decided, is best achieved through laughter and music. They could listen to this disc. | |||||
