Le Concert Spirituel / Hervé Niquet
Following on from Callirhoé (Destouches), Sémélé (Marais) and Proserpine (Lully), three important tragédies lyriques rescued from oblivion by Hervé Niquet and Le Concert Spirituel, Glossa is now restoring to the catalogue and within its collection of French Baroque opera, a recording made in Metz in December 2001: Daphnis et Chloé, the work which was to add Boismortier to the roll call of the history of music in a most determined fashion.
