Presentation
The distress cry of Jean Gilles' Lamentations will be answered by the hope of eternal light celebrated by André Campra's Requiem, which seduces with its surprisingly bright colors and contrasting atmospheres: two masterpieces to welcome the prestigious ensembles of Musique Sacrée à Notre-Dame, and musicians of the young generation with the Young Ensemble and the instrumentalists of the Department of Ancient Music of the Paris Conservatory.
