Video description: musical excerpts from a CD recording by The Toronto Consort of the "Praetorius Christmas Vespers", with a selection of images of related paintings from the 16th and 17th centuries. The CD is based on a performance by the Toronto Consort, which reconstructs a possible vespers service for Christmas as it might have sounded in a large north German church. The music was composed by Michael Praetorius in the early 17th century. Visit the Toronto Consort website at www.torontoconsort.org. Video production by David Fallis and Bill Found.

Coïncidence ? à 0'40'', un tableau du peintre Georges de La Tour "Le Nouveau né" il se trouve au musée de Rennes, Bretagne à quelques kilomètres de chez moi. Associé à la superbe interprétation de Praetorius, que du bonheur.
Merci beaucoup.
