    “CD of the month” Radio Notre-Dame, January 2012

     

    Although he had been sounded out as successor to Delalande at the Chapelle Royale, Joseph MICHEL (1679-1736) died without being able to go down in history, victim of a tragic destiny. Yet he left us exceptional Tenebrae Lessons, miraculously saved from the flames and a veritable apotheosis of the genre. Here they are put in perspective with the harpsichord Sonata in A minor by RAMEAU, MICHEL's contemporary and a fellow native of Dijon.
