Michel Corrette - Christmas Concerto [Digital] CL24
The Christmas Concerto has belonged to the most popular genre in France for at least a good century: Corrette knows how to renew it and offer us in its parts of "musettes, vièles, flutes and violins" a very original score which sounds just as well on only the strings.
