About this product
In 1692, Charpentier wrote the Te Deum that would make him famous into the 20th century. Played for the military victory of Steenkerque, most probably at the church of Saint-Louis-des-Jésuites, this masterpiece, which glorified the armies of Louis XIV, is a powerful fresco whose prelude opens with the martial rhythms of the timpani and trumpets, symbolising the Grand Siècle of the arts, but also Louis XIV's conquests. Valentin Tournet adds pieces to the programme whose pomp is matched by their quality and expressiveness the de Profundis has an extraordinary solemnity, while the Marche de Triomphe sounds the trumpets for the king considered the greatest in the world.

The Motets are singular masterpieces in Bach's output. They were all composed in Leipzig between 1727 and 1730 for exceptional ceremonies the funeral services of important figures. Each motet is a virtuoso composition for double choir. Their abundant composition, their jubilant counterpoint and the splendor that emanates from them have given them the privilege of remaining in the repertoire of St Thomas in Leipzig, where Mozart was captivated on hearing them in 1789. Their success has not waned, so much do these works exude the beauty and magnificence of the sacred baroque. Valentin Tournet brings this music of Bach to life in a profound and virtuoso performance of these unequivocal masterpieces.
