Sébastien Daucé and Ensemble Correpsondances leave Paris and the other side of the English Channel for an excursion to the shores of the Baltic, between Lübeck and Stockholm, to explore Lutheran music before Bach, from Buxtehude to Schütz and the rarely heard Dijkman. The works devoted to the Passion of Christ, in particular, reflect a mystical universe imbued with a mysterious beauty.
