Herve NiquetAbout
The 1693 religious ceremony for which this Missa pro defunctis was written would have required Bouteiller (who later on in his career moved to the French capital) to find other suitable pieces from the time to complete the service and in the spirit of a modern-day reconstruction, Hervé Niquet, employing his consummate flair and experience in this musical arena, has chosen to entice us not only with the substantial Stabat mater by Sébastien de Brossard (1655-1730) (an early champion of Pierre Bouteiller's qualities), but also with instrumental versions of pieces by compositional talents even less recognisable today – Henri Frémart, Louis Le Prince and Pierre Hugard.
With a dozen male voices, low strings and organ, Hervé Niquet recreates the incredible French ‘cathedral sound’ from the turn of the 18th century.
Recorded in the Église de Notre Dame du Liban, Paris, Feb. 2010.
