Review by Sarah Griffin

The album Te Deum Grand Magnificat by Marc Antoine Charpentier, Philip Ledger, The Academy Of St MartinintheFields, King's College Choir, Cambridge, Marilyn Sansom, Felicity Lott, Eiddwen Harrhy, Charles Brett, Stephen Roberts , Ian Partridge is a masterpiece that showcases the best of Baroque music. The album features some of the most talented musicians and singers, and they have done an excellent job in bringing Charpentier's music to life.

The album features two of Charpentier's most famous works, the Te Deum and the Grand Magnificat. The Te Deum is a grandiose piece that was written to celebrate a victory in battle, and it is a testament to Charpentier's talent as a composer. The Grand Magnificat, on the other hand, is a more intimate piece that is based on the biblical text of Mary's song of praise.

The Academy Of St MartinintheFields and King's College Choir, Cambridge, are both world-renowned ensembles, and they have delivered outstanding performances on this album. The singers, Marilyn Sansom, Felicity Lott, Eiddwen Harrhy, Charles Brett, Stephen Roberts, and Ian Partridge, are all exceptional, and their voices blend together beautifully.

Philip Ledger, the conductor, has done an excellent job in bringing out the best in the performers, and he has created a recording that is both powerful and delicate. The sound quality is superb, and every instrument and voice can be heard clearly.

Summary by Sarah Griffin

Te Deum Grand Magnificat is a must-have for anyone who loves Baroque music. It is a stunning recording that showcases the talents of some of the best musicians and singers in the world. Highly recommended!
