Charpentier: Pastorale de Noël - On this recording, Sébastien Daucé and Ensemble Correspondances recreate Christmas Eve as it was celebrated in France during the reign of Louis XIV. Charpentier's Pastorale depicts the shepherds' vision of the angel and their pilgrimage to the manger in Bethlehem. The music is especially charming, filled with examples of the 'pastoral' style favored by French Baroque composers. Originally releases on CD and digital, this recording is now available as a deluxe 2-LP set.
