Description
Since the Middle Ages, Christmas has been celebrated with music in churches, initially through plainchant, then with polyphonic motets. During the Baroque period, depending on the country, cantatas, concertos, and variations on well-known carols were added. Simphonies des Noëls (Christmas Symphony) presents instrumental works associated with the Nativity, by various composers from France (De Lalande, Charpentier), Italy (Sammartini, Torelli, Corelli), and Germany (Pez). ATMA Classique is delighted to reissue Simphonies des Noëls, the first album by Les Violons du Roy and Bernard Labadie, originally released in 1994 on the Dorian label. An album that has lost none of its freshness and sonic beauty, even more than 20 years after its initial release.
