Total Time: 76:53

"I recommend most highly this joyous and sonically superb realization of one of the greatest of all works of music."
Robert E. Greene, The Absolute Sound, Austin TX, 2002
"Les Violons du Roy not only is Canada's finest chamber orchestra and one of the world's most important arbiters of Baroque performance, but in Labadie it also has one of today's most eloquent, intelligent, and imaginative conductors."
