"Straight to the heart: ravishing music beautifully sung by this ensemble"
(Gramophone Editor's Choice July 2005)

Editor's Choice Gramophone Magazine July 2005

"The story surrounding the posthumous publication of Henry Du Mont's 20 grands motets, written for the court of Louis XIV, is an extraordinary tale of royal diplomacy. And the music itself is quite magical - the remarkable textures, intriguing harmonies and glorious dissonances make this a real treat, especially when done with such fantasy as Frédéric Desenclos brings. And with only three motets on this disc, that leaves plenty more."
(Gramophone)
