Marc-Antoine Charpentier (1643-1704) was the only composer of his generation to travel from France to Italy, which he later called "the true source" of musical innovation. Ensemble Correspondances, directed by Sébastien Daucé, imagines Charpentier's musical discoveries on his journey through Italy in their stunning new release for Harmonia Mundi.
