Best Of French Baroque

TAFELMUSIK BAROQUE ORCHESTRA TAFELMUSIK CHAMBER CHOIR LAMON TAURINS

This compilation offers a selection of the best recordings of French baroque repertoire drawn from Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra’s own catalogue. The album includes the 2005 JUNO Award-winning, Grammy Award-nominated recording of an orchestral suite from Rameau’s epic five-act “tragédie en musique” Dardanus, originally released on CBC Records. The Tafelmusik Chamber Choir and guest soloists are featured in a 2006 CBC recording of the Grand Motet “Dominus regnavit” by Mondonville. Two works are drawn from Tafelmusik’s genre-defying, globe-trotting, multi-media concert programmes—one suite from Lully’s Phaëton and another from Marais’ Alcyon. Directing the TBO on this release are Jeanne Lamon and Ivars Taurins. Ms. Lamon and Tafelmusik have earned high marks … The music's greatness might not be so obvious but for Tafelmusik's fine period style… It will have listeners wondering why this music is not as well-known as works by Bach, Handel and Vivaldi. –The New York Times
