Henriëtte Bosmans Early Chamber Music has appeal

Henriëtte Bosmans is a major figure in Dutch music. But she's little known outside the Netherlands. Here's hoping this release will encourage more folks to explore her catalog. It's worth the effort.

A Byzantine Emperor at King Henry’s Court: Christmas, 1400 London

This is an album of great beauty and great serenity. Those are two qualities both the Latin and Eastern Orthodox hymns have in common.

If you're interested in seasonal cantatas, give this release a listen. I found them a welcome alternative to the heaviness of late Baroque cantatas.
