Music reviews of Couperin - Leçons de Ténèbres / Daneman, Petibon, Les Arts Florissants, Christie
Music Review: Couperin - Lecons de Tenebres/ The Lamentations of Jeremiah
Rating: 5 Stars
Years ago I heard Judith Nelson and Emma Kirkby perform this beautiful work from Couperin and fell in love with it. However since my first listening I have heard Alfred Deller's version, which is alright, but I have also heard many wonderful reviews about this recording. So I decided to recently purchase it for my boss who's an avid lover of classical music as a Christmas present. She found it quite lovely and when I heard it, I was mesmerized! The quality of the voices and the singers' phrasing is impeccable!! I even love that Sophie Daneman articulates the Latin with a French accent giving Couperin's work and text even more credibility. The quality of the recording is quite clear, and listening to it at work, I feel like I am in a cathedral experiencing the actual performance. I highly recommend this C.D.!!!
Description of Couperin - Leçons de Ténèbres / Daneman, Petibon, Les Arts Florissants, Christie
It figures that the ensemble most responsible for the French Baroque revival is the one to outdo Nelson and Kirkby's legendary recording of these lamentation settings. Sophie Daneman and Patricia Petibon don't have the earlier pair's gorgeous, distinctive voices (both occasionally wobble above the staff), but they sound plenty beautiful. More importantly, they've managed to make these major-key pieces sound like lamentations. Twenty years ago, Kirkby and Nelson were pioneers: merely singing with their white tone was risky; they couldn't take many chances with rhythmic freedom. Daneman and Petibon have had time to internalize Couperin's style: they can push ahead here, hold back there, extend an unaccompanied phrase and let it drop off suddenly--following rhetoric more than rhythm, they take your breath away. --Matthew WestphalGeneral CDs
