notes
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 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.”

Beautiful classical sounds!
author: Bonny BuckleyI love the bright and cheery sounds of the violin and cello together. This is uncommon, pleasant music for relaxation or dinnertime.
Enjoyable and well-produced
author: Ken RossoThis was a highly enjoyable and well-produced CD. I'm not a classical enthusiast per se, but this was great music - well played and well produced.
