Leçons de ténèbres

De Lalande’s Leçons de ténèbres finds Isabelle Desrochers, M. Buraglia, N. Ben David, and P. Trocellier navigating the austere spiritual darkness of baroque sacred music on Astrée Auvidis. The label’s classical catalog brought these introspective vocal settings—originally composed for Holy Week liturgy—into sharp focus, revealing their meditative intensity and harmonic complexity through period-informed interpretation.
