Jean Gilles: Messe des morts (Requiem)
Few works written during France's "grand Siècle" were as celebrated in the 18th century as Gilles' Messe des morts. Not only was it performed around fifteen times during the famous Concerts Spirituels in Paris, but it was also sung at the memorial services for Rameau, King Stanislas of Poland and Louis XV. Gilles wrote the Requiem in 1700 whilst organist at the cathedral of Saint-Étienne in Toulouse where he died a few years later at the age of only thirty-seven. Gilles' Messe des morts ispermeated by a serene and peaceful light, and hearing it in this live recording one can appreciate how it earned its posthumous reputation as one of the jewels of the French Baroque.
