Julie Zenatti fait partie de ces artistes discrets, peu médiatisé, mais pourtant on ne peut plus talentueux. Elle nous livre aussi son deuxième album, qui est ce qu'on pourrait appeler la continuité de son premier album, FRAGILE. La voix cristalline de cette grande chanteuse vous transporte tout au long des pages du disques, que ce soit dans des ballades très douces, ou sur des chansons plus "chaloupées"(comme le dit Julie). Le son est superbe, on l'impression d'être parfois dans un concert "piano-voix", mais pour les amateurs de guitares, rassurez-vous, vous en trouverez plein l'album.

An ancient hero, a dragon, a young goddess: love and glory are at the heart of Lullys first opera, first performed in front of Louis XIV. As in his previous works - divertissements, ballets de cour and comédies- ballets - Lully makes the voices and the orchestra sparkle, multiplying the pieces which stand out and that were appealing to the court. But with the help of the librettist Philippe Quinault, he introduced the dramatic force of French classical tragédie in an exclusively musical work: and here the audience was bewitched by the mythical love stories so sumptuously portrayed.
