L'archange & Le Lys

Boësset s repertoire for high voices, transmitted by the precious
Deslauriers manuscript, is the only surviving musical evidence of the
religious output of one of the most influential French composers of the
17th century. Bearing witness to a miraculously preserved and somewhat
mysterious musical world, this precious recording reveals a repertoire at
once sober and poetic, which invites us into the gates of those convents
that attracted a public enthralled by their angelic voices and animated by
a single authentic faith that further increased the powerful appeal and
mystery of their singing.
