Brilliant, outclasses Herreweghe's 1982 recording.......2005-01-27
Jean-Philippe Rameau is remembered today mainly for his stage works ("Hippolyte et Aricie", "Platée", "Les Indes Galantes"), all written after he had spent many years working as an organist and keyboard player in relative obscurity. During this time he was employed by the Church, and the motets gathered on this recording bear testimony to his earlier work, being the three motets that have survived. (There is a fourth work, "Laboravi", which consists of only one verse and needs less than three minutes to perform; Niquet has chosen to leave it out of this performance.) They are wonderfully varied and make it very evident that lovers of baroque music ignore France and Rameau in particular at their peril. Here there is some delightful choral singing and absolutely heavenly instrumental parts, capped by some of the most attractive solo singing I have heard recently: I don't want to pick out any one of the soloists because they all deserve unmitigating praise. The 1993 Radio France recording is brilliant, capturing all the nuances of this complex music in a broad, transparent panorama that makes for exquisite listening pleasure.
I was able to compare Niquet's disc with the Harmonia Mundi recording of "In convertendo" and "Quam dilecta" made by Philippe Herreweghe and his Chapelle Royale in 1982 in a church in Ghent in Belgium. Herreweghe, too, had some wonderful soloists, but the recording is to my mind inferior to the Niquet because of the sound quality: the singers are much more distant and much less brilliantly captured on disc, also I felt that the English singer Stephen Varcoe (baritone) was not quite up to the standard on the Concert Spirituel recording. Herreweghe only recorded two of Rameau's "grand motets", but he added "Laboravi", so if you need to hear that you will have to buy both discs.
A French Baroque gem.......2000-02-08
Herve Niquet's conscientious conducting and a cast that's a veritable who's who of French baroque vocal work make this rerelease of a 1993 French recording well worth a listen. Rameau was unquestionably a musical genius, and so it's a bit upsetting that only four of the many sacred works he must have written during his life have survived to this day; three of them are on this recording. Because of the chronological organization of the three motets, one can truly hear the development of Rameau's artistry, technical sophistication and mastery of form. The last motet, In Convertendo, should convince anyone that the underappreciated Rameau deserves a place in the high throne of baroque music. Certainly the French believe so; his somewhat hunched marble form graces the entrance of the Paris Garnier.
High praises must go to the crystalline playing of Le Concert Spirituel, whose sense of balance, baroque musical practice, and spiritual ardor are essentially perfect. The emsemble singing is splendid, tight and unified without being overly blended. And I can't help but be completely entralled by the ringing, angelic timbre of haute-contre Jean-Paul Fouchecourt, who gives the "aria" in "In Convertendo" the sort of incredibly passionate attack that makes one listen to every note as if it were a vindication of the power, and struggle, of the human spirit. A similar sense of struggle and pleading comes across in "Converte," in the same motet, in which a pensive bass solo is interrupted several bars later by an utterly cheerful Rameauian violin riff that musically paints the next line of the text from psalm 125: "We sigh after thee as the lands of the south sigh after the overflowing waters that feed them." In what you could call musical transubstantiation, we actually hear the waters. Rameau had the enviable talent for combining his musical dexterity with a vivid, if somewhat literal, imagination, and so he brings a glowing, vibrant color to his sacred writing; fortunately for us, Niquet and his devoted cast of singers and instrumentalists have the same talent.

Sterling example of excellence.......2006-10-19
In a successful follow-up to Vol.1, Naxos outdone all yet again with this stunning compilation, part of the Grand Motets series. A bold and grand interpretation, this recording is the undoubted first choice for anyone who wants the best of the best.
Lully was a master of colour, and to this day still finds in the modern listener, an understanding and connectedness that can be said of few other composers of his day. I warmly applaud all of the performers on this album for the sterling example of excellence, and whole-heartedly recommend it to everyone. A solid 5 out of 5.
Deeply felt music.......2005-07-10
Of the three volumes of Lully that Herve Niquet has recorded (with thanks to Naxos for re-releasing them) this second installment is my favorite, although I recommend the others as well.
There are four substantial "grands motets" included here, which require a baroque orchestra, chorus and a quintet of soloists. The first, Quare fremuerunt, is a jovial piece with energy to spare. The other three, O Lachrymae, Dies irae, and De profundis are all much more subdued and sombre (which I happen to like very much).
For all of his bluster and ruthless domination over the musical scene in Paris, Lully was undoubtedly a very good composer. There are many sublime turns of phrase to be found in these motets, and the energy he is able to generate can be truly exciting.
Part of the reason these works come across so well is the superb performance given here by Le Concert Spirituel. This group has a very good grasp on how to execute the French style, and the playing and singing is nearly flawless. With a group of soloist including Veronique Gens, John-Paul Fouchecourt and Peter Harvey, there is no lack of great singing.
If you like French baroque vocal music, this recording should fit very nicely into your collection, and provide much pleasure. Buy it if you can.
A must!.......2001-02-25
This recording is one of the best I ever heard on Lully.
It is full of sentiment and the recording, and performances are first rate.
Lully rises to the top and it is a pity that is not performed very often.
The structure is similar to gregorian chants, but with a richer text and voices interact with more creativity.

Rameau's grands motets were written for concert performance; the florid solos, grand choruses and important orchestral participation are very reminiscent of French Baroque opera. The motets are, however, much more interesting to the casual listener: there is no recitative; the arias, duo and trios are full of extended melody and ornament; the choruses have an unusual amount of counterpoint (including the occasional fugue). William Christie and Les Arts Florissants perform this music with all the grace and authority one could wish for. Special mention: each motet begins with a movement for solo voice with flute(s) and strings--the singing of Paul Agnew and Sophie Daneman in these movements is delectable. --Matthew Westphal

Rameau in a Different Guise (It's Still Rameau!).......2005-07-28
Rameau is one of those composers, like Mozart, whose style did not vary greatly from one genre to the next. Both could be accused of writing sacred music that is too operatic in nature. This is especially true of Rameau; you will hear music in these Grand Motets that might have come from one of his many operas. Is this a bad thing? Not at all. In his operas, Rameau was more concerned, it seems, with expanding the role of the orchestra and chorus, and with achieving musical fidelity to the text, than with deep psychological exploration of character. In his sacred music, the same concerns produce ensembles that, rich though the counterpoint may be, convey the text with utter clarity; try the remarkable quartet "Conturbatae sunt gentes" from "Deus Noster Refugium." These concerns also produce lively--or poignant--but always fluid choruses and charming orchestral effects, especially in the winds. Only Rameau could achieve the wonderful colors that flutes, oboes, and bassoons lend to the slow solos and choruses. They're almost like another choir of voices. This is gorgeous music.
William Christie and Les Arts Florissants are superb advocates. The orchestra makes wonderful sounds, and the chorus tosses off Rameau's coloratura with great aplomb. Of the soloists, Paul Agnew and Sophie Daneman are especially praiseworthy, but everyone involved contributes to the thorough success of this endeavor. There is great presence to the sound as well. It's a fairly close recording but with plenty of air and with a perfect balance among the forces involved. A disc to be cherished.
Wonderful works, great performance.......2001-10-19
Rameau is one of those endlessly surprising composers - you think you know Rameau through his highly inventive keyboard music, and then you realize you missed the fact that he's a great orchestral genius. And then a great opera composer - and here as a genius of choral music. The music of the Motets is complex and yet, as always with Rameau, with a very "straight to the heart" emotional content. Bill Christie and his Les Arts Florissants are the perfect ensemble to convey the maximum output from this wonderful music. Enjoy!
Best of the best.......1999-03-13
This is an extraordinary performance which deservedly received the Gramophone best vocal CD award for 1995. Rameau's music is very recognizable, its distinctive flavor evident in the melodic structure of the motets and in the agrements with which they are performed. This flavor is characteristically French, permeating French baroque music generally, yet present in Rameau's compositions in its purest, most refined, strain. Even in motets which are, as the name implies, of a religious origin, Rameau's music is animated, espressive and individualized. Whether or not it was performed in a church or in a salon, it implies a radical personal relationship with God, as opposed to serving merely as part of an impersonal medium between the holder and the recipient of truth, the role the earlier church music (e.g. Gesualdo) served. For this reason, Rameau's motets are surprisingly gripping, in a way that can appeal even to a casual listener. They are also superbly performed. Christie, a notable expert in French baroque, offers a finely tuned yet emotional account of these motets. Some of the best baroque soloists, all of whom enjoy a lasting and productive relationship with Christie, make memorable contributions to this recording. I was particularly impressed with the singing of Paul Agnew, Christie's favorite tenor at the moment, and Nicolas Rivenq whose basse-taille is simply glowing. Like I said, these soloists have made a number of other recordings with Christie which, I think, anybody with the remotest interest in baroque should definitely discover. My personal favorite is La Descente d'Orphee aux Enfers, with Agnew.

Lully, the grand master of French middle baroque music, in this form, achieved the lasting fame and glory on par with that of which his absolute monarch of an employer thirsted and lived for. It is probably upon his Te Deum (one of his most popular works) that today's recognition of his genius is most vastly rested. Having said that, this recording is a most glorious rendition, showing off a performance that would be impossible to better.
The attention to detail is rather remarkable, and deserves much applause, from the carefully rippled modulations, to the voice control displayed by all the performers. It truly is a work of art, and with no absolutely no reservations, I give it 5 stars out of 5, for what is surely a benchmark in high-standards.
Good, by why OVPP?.......2003-11-10
Very nice performance, good singing and good playing. But why have solo voices been used in this recording? Lully's choir and orchestra was several hundred strong! Surely one of the modest large scale performances in all 17th century French music. What do we have here? Niquet's group performs this music with great style and panache but it does sound small and I am sure that this was not what Lully had in mind.
Graceful, inspiring music.......2000-08-27
I've just discovered Lully's music, via a comparison with Rameau. I like Rameau, who is supposed to be the superior composer, but I like Lully better. These motets, in Latin, are strong and beautiful. Baroque at its most glorious.
