Description
Previous recordings on CPO from the Boston Early Music Festival have been received with great acclaim; Conradi's Ariadne and Lully's Thesee and Psyche have received Grammy nominations and Psyche was a finalist in the Baroque Vocal category at the 2009 Gramophone Awards. This month, in corporation with the Boston Early Music Festival, CPO proudly present more Baroque opera, this time by the French composer Marc Antoine Charpentier. The main work on the disc is Charpentier's Acteon, a tragedie en musique based on Greek myth. Alongside this are the chamber opera Orphee descendant aux Enfers (The descent of Orpheus to the Underworld) and La Pierre Philosophale.
