Suhubiette). Anne Magoüet, soprano; Vincent Lièvre-Picard,
haute-contre; Gilles Ragon, tenor; Alain Buet, baritone.
Interview with Jean-Marc Andrieu about Jean Gilles. This is
a superb performance and recording of what may be the finest
works by Gilles. It's certainly the best Gilles recording to
date. As on the Levens Te Deum released on Éditions Hortus,
Volny Hostiou plays a serpent, which can be heard prominently in
several movements including antiphonal notes in one chorus.
