This release presents a natural companion to this ensemble's disc devoted to Faugues, and in this case, Caron had received even less attention on disc up to this point.
If anything, I find these pieces somewhat more interesting. There is more rhythmic differentiation and more feeling of excitement & acceleration in the way the movements progress. This is clearly high quality music from this time period, and well worth hearing.
The performance by "The Sound and the Fury" is quite good, intelligently constructed and with enjoyable sonority & articulation. It also has a great energy level, something they often seem to be able to bring to music of this era, and something that seems to fit Caron's voice quite well.
The more I listen to this recording, the better I like it. I am absolutely amazed this music lay unrecorded for so long when it had had a critical edition for decades. I really do wonder what failed to attract performers, because this is some very compelling material.
