"The performances here are first-rate, with an accomplished and idiomatic crew of soloists, and fine work from the band and chorus. These are still the only available recordings of three of the four motets. A real buy from Naxos. Warmly recommended." Fanfare
"Herve Niquet founded Le Concert Spirituel in 1988 on the model of the institution begun by Philidor in 1725 to give concerts of sacred music, with grand motets a specialty. The vocal soloists are accomplished early-music specialists. The choir and period-instrument orchestra have a brilliant tone… Niquet seems to favor propulsive energy over stateliness and introspection, though the quieter sections are not without expressive delicacy. The sound is not at all churchly, but the styles of the court chapel and the court opera were not exactly poles apart. Well worth hearing" American Record Guide
