 Opera japonica/William Christie
William Christie left America for France some 30 years ago, but there are still some lingering traces of his New England background.
Christie was a pioneer in championing the French baroque and he, more than any other, was responsible for bringing a wide audience to the music of Marc-Antoine Charpentier, assuring that composer of a place beside Lully and Rameau as one of the French masters of the baroque.
In addition to Christie's efforts, conductors René Jacobs and Marc Minkowski, as well as Coin and Rousset have made significant additions to the recording catalog of baroque music over the past 15 years, and the public is yet to be satiated.
