Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A highly interesting delight!.......2006-10-28

This is without a doubt one of Lesne's finest recordings. The already flawless compositions are elevated even higher by his exquisite ornamentation. Bononcini was a master of the genre and after listening to these compositions it should be apparent why he gave Handel such a run for his money. These works are easy to appreciate, far more so than Charpentier's in my opinion. Dramatic, Melodic, very bouncy harmonic rhythms, poignant slow movements - what more could you want? The instrumental ensemble is on par with Lesne's fabulous interpretations, the 'cello and trio sonate are equally as impressive as the cantate. I would give this six stars out five, it has been one of my most treasured recordings for over ten years. It would be wise to snatch this up before the flaky Veritas ceases to publish it!

4 out of 5 stars 5 star singing, 3 star music.......2001-06-28

Not the most interesting music you could find, but Lesne singing is excellent, filled wih beauty and emotion. He is a marvellous singer. So fans of Lesne will not be disappointed. Not a first choice if you haven't heard Lesne before (I would recommend Charpentier's Lecon de Tenebrae to newcomers)
