| What an exquisite recording this is! Presented under the overall title 'Excess of Good Taste,' this performance of music by Leclair and his contemporaries fully justifies its name. Simon Standage explains in the liner notes that the concept of le bon goût, or 'good taste,' was at the core of the French music making in the first half of the 18th century. |

The instrument was made in 1742 by Domenico Traeri and was installed this past spring. |

| This glorious disc takes its name from the great 6-part Marian antiphon whose massive, pre-Reformation style long led scholars to believe it be an early work. More recently the maturity and strong structural sense of Gaude gloriosa has lead to re-assessment and the notion that it dates from later, having perhaps been composed during the short-lived reign of Mary. |
