Couperin: Leçons De Ténèbres/Lalande: Miserere

Hervé Niquet likes to say that recording is a source of stress and sometimes tension: “None of that was the case here,” he continues. He has been performing this Couperin/de Lalande programme with the female singers of Le Concert Spirituel for over ten years: "The seven singers know every nook and cranny of these highly complex scores. So it was time to record this testimony to ten years of work. (.) I like the parallel between the singers of Le Concert Spirituel and the nuns who sing these lamentations every year throughout their lives in their monastery."
