Synopsis

Product Description

This CD of sensuous, Baroque tunes is the perfect, romantic gift for your partner. Beautifully played by Victoria Paterson and Robert Burkhardt of the New York City-based Lumiere Duo, this gorgeous collection of Baroque classics goes perfectly with flowers, a box of chocolates or a gourmet dinner with candles and red wine. The title track, Le Petit Mort, translates as ?The Little Death,? a French phrase meaning ?orgasm.? This long lost work is attributed to one of the first, great female composers, Elisabeth-Claude Jacquet de la Guerre. The legend goes that after before her husband passed away in 1704, she wrote this work as a gift for her secret lover who longed for her while her husband was still alive, but dared not reveal himself. This piece was a secret message to her lover that if he waited, he would experience ?Le Petit Mort.?

CD Reviews

Enjoyable, well produced

Kenneth R. Rosso | Philadelphia, PA, US | 12/21/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I'm a non-classical expert and I found this recording very enjoyable and well-produced."

Sex and strings

George D. OBrien | Middlebury, VT, USA | 12/21/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

""Le Petit Mort" is the French coy reference to sexual climax. ( "The Little Death!") This lovely collection soothes as it seduces with the sound which only violin and cello can create. A string duo for your personal duo. Great sound -- great music."
