If, by any chance, you should think that with another disc of French seventeenth-century church music from Les Arts Florissants you know what to expect, think again. Bouzignac is quite definitely, quite splendidly, different. Try Units ex vobis on your friends and see if they can tell what century it comes from, let alone what country (its lugubrious dialogue between Christ and his disciples actually sounds more like something from the Russian Orthodox Church). This is music that abandons itself to its text in as absolute and direct a way as you are ever likely to encounter in the baroque period, and the results are sometimes gripping, sometimes haunting, and sometimes both. I, for one, will find it hard to forget the extraordinary sound of a solo tenor calling out as Pilate, "Ecco homo"—"Behold the man! Shall I crucify your king?"—and the starkly chordal answer of the chorus: "Crucify him!". The means of expression are boldly simple, their effect (especially when Pilate makes his final pianissimo enquiry, "What evil has he done?") devastating. But that is not all. Bouzignac knew his counterpoint; he could write in joyous, celebratory vein, rather like a lightfooted Gabrieli (Jubilate Deo); and there is also music of aching beauty—In pace in idipsum should be enough to melt anyone into their chair.
If the music comes as a surprise, the performances, too, are different from what you might have expected. Predictable, of course, is the way Christie marries an acute sense of drama to a sensitivity to words and to the music's lyrical qualities that few of today's baroque conductors can match. What is unusual for him, though, is that (for the first time, I think) he uses boy sopranos; their singing is hardly in the polished Arts Florissants mould, but it does square nicely with this music's straightforward mode of communication. I could write a lot more on the merits of this disc, but actually a much better idea would be for you to go out and buy it for yourself.
