Pour la nuit de Noël

This collection of Baroque Christmas concertos brings together touching works that range from pastoral and innocent to deeply spiritual. These pieces were recorded on an album that achieved tremendous and enduring success, even prompting a reissue. A great lover of Christmas traditions, Bernard Labadie revisits these splendid Baroque pages with the precision of a master craftsman and the wonder of a child.
