James Bowman, Michael Chance, Robert King - Couperin: Le�ons de ten�bres

Couperin�s Trois Le�ons de Ten�bres are amongst the small amount of the composer�s sacred music that was published during his lifetime. They are intensely personal, depicting the prophet Jeremiah�s bitter anguish in settings that are quite unique. Also included here are Couperin�s joyful motets Laetentur caeli and Venite, exsultemus Domino, and a remarkable Magnificat.Countertenors James Bowman and Michael Chance are celebrated not only as great soloists but matchless duettists.
