One of the legendary discs by René Jacobs: the Lamentations of Jeremiah treated 'à la française' by the most Italianate composer of the Grand Siècle . . .

This recording made in 1982 has become established over the decades as the benchmark in this repertoire. This title was released for the first time in 1986.

"Recorded over 30 years ago Rene Jacobs's singers have a disembodied quality that sounds a touch dated. His scrupulous, sensitive shaping of Charpentier's dark-hued 'lessons', however, remains timeless." BBC Music Magazine, Awards Issue 2015 ****
