About

The two great works brought together on this recording, the Dixit Dominus and the Deus Judicium tuum give us some idea of the splendid music that held such appeal for the church, courts and concert audiences in early 18th-century Europe. Written by two German composers for Rome and Paris respectively, they illustrate the blending of German, French and Italian styles, as well as the variety, yet unity, that was to be found in European music of that time.

Awards and reviews

April 2010

The soloists sing with ideal intimacy, and I particularly liked Harmonie Universelle's instrumental obbligatos...The choral textures of Arsys Bourgogne are smooth rather than incisive in Telemann's refined work but prove to be focused and rhetorical enough in the taut counterpoint of Dixit Dominus.
