L'archange & Le Lys

Boësset s repertoire for high voices, transmitted by the precious<br>Deslauriers manuscript, is the only surviving musical evidence of the<br>religious output of one of the most influential French composers of the<br>17th century. Bearing witness to a miraculously preserved and somewhat<br>mysterious musical world, this precious recording reveals a repertoire at<br>once sober and poetic, which invites us into the gates of those convents<br>that attracted a public enthralled by their angelic voices and animated by<br>a single authentic faith that further increased the powerful appeal and<br>mystery of their singing.
