My first wife and I caught a Niquet performance of works by Charpentier in Paris some 12 or 15 years ago in the chapel of Les Invalides. The way the music rose to the large room's very high domed ceiling was magical; Charpentier was a master of manipulating sounds in space. Delighted, I wondered in passing what Morton Feldman would have made of what I was hearing. Walking to the performance  down a boulevard, we passed a mansion in which lots of elegantly dressed people had gathered for a party in brightly lit rooms. Later on we learned that it had been the home of the late cosmetics empress Helena Rubinstein.

Helmchen is excellent here ....

Yes! Reminds me, do you or anyone else have any opinions about his Messiaen disc? I haven't even sampled it yet, though it could be interesting.

 

Sticking with lieder this morning, Ernst Krenek performed by Christine Schäfer and Axel Bauni (Orfeo)
