Daphnis et Chloé (Pastorale). Glossa GCD 921605 (2 CDs
2002).
CD booklet (pdf). Hervé Niquet, Le Concert Spirituel. Gaëlle
Méchaly (Chloé & L'Amour), Marie-Louise Duthoit (La Nymphe & La
Matelote), François-Nicolas Geslot (Daphnis & Le Zéphyr), Till
Fechner (Saphir), Alain Buet (Dryas), Renaud Delaigue (Agenor),
Arno Guillou (Pan & Faune). This is one of the most overtly
Italian stage works of its time, yet it's a distinctly French
form with minimal plot and lots of dances.

Don Quichotte chez la Duchesse. Naxos 8.553647 (1 CD
1996).
Details. Hervé Niquet. Le Concert Spirituel. Stephan Van
Dyck, Richard Biren, Meredith Hall, Paul Gay. Might easily be
mistaken for a work of Rameau. A chorus in Act I sounds like Les
Sauvages, and according to the liner notes, Rameau borrowed from
two arias in Les Boréades.

Motets avec symphonies. Adda 581255 (1 CD 1991). Hervé
Niquet. Le Concert Spirituel. Véronique Gens, soprano; Jean-Paul
Fouchécourt, haute-contre; Peter Harvey, baritone; Loureiro de
Sà, baritone; Kevin Mallon, first violin. Contains most of the
surviving sacred music by Boismortier: one grand motet with
trumpets and drums and 8 petits motets for soprano. Like J-M
Leclair, some Boismortier movements are more purely Italian than
anything I've heard by Rameau, Mouret, Mondonville or Royer. In
particular, a da capo aria for soprano in the grand motet on
this disk is not recognizably French. But for the French
pronunciation of Latin, it could easily by mistaken for an aria
by a leading Italian composer around the turn of the 18th
Century. Unfortunately, the most popular sacred work by
Boismortier in his own lifetime, a grand motet that was
performed by the Concert Spirituel for 25 years, has not
survived intact. The superb performance of the petits motets by
Véronique Gens is one of the highlights of recorded French
sacred music.
