Charpentier: Te Deum, Magnificat (King's College Choir, Cambridge, Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Philip Ledger, conductor; Angel). Marc-Antoine Charpentier (1634-1704) wrote brilliant religious music for Louis XIV that is seldom heard today. This recording celebrates Charpentier's majestic trumpet flourishes and garlands of intertwined, polyphonic passages.

Dropping down a peg in flashiness and professionalism but not necessarily in quality are the street chamber ensembles. These can be found in front of Holyoke Center, in the Coop main doorway, and in the little park in front of Grendel's Den. These musicians usually play excellent classical music and give you the feeling that you are indeed in a cultural center...
