Following on from their exploration of seventeenth century English song (Perpetual Night), Sébastien Daucé, the Ensemble Correspondances and Lucile Richardot find themselves on the shores of the Baltic Sea in the same century, unearthing a treasury of music both beautiful and rare: the sacred music of the Court of Stockholm. A fascinating musical voyage in the form of a meditation on the meaning of life, and its ending.
