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.”
