Christie and his eloquent group next turn their attention to even rarer repertoire, Lully's Italianate petits motets (they range in length from two to nine minutes). They are written for three voices, usually sopranos - since the music was intended for a Paris convent choir - and the sopranos here are appealingly fresh-voiced. The discreet yet telling continuo (with Christie himself at the organ) is a delight and the performances have an airy lightness of touch. -- Ivan March, Gramophone [10/1998]
