Henry Purcell's "Fairy Queen" and "Dioclesian" (called "The Prophetess" here) were two examples of semi-opera, a genre that flourished in England in the late 17th and early 18th centuries before Handel blew up the spot with Italian opera. In this recording, Jordi Savall gives these unique, at times Lully-esque scores his customary imaginative and colorful treatment with his orchestra Le Concert des Nations. The performance standard here is very high, highlighted by rich, dark bass lines, a stellar violin section, and impeccable intonation in the winds and brass. This group's comparatively well known reading of the Handel Water Music is in a similar vein stylistically, so if you're familiar with that and like it, this would be a good choice.

In this new release, Vincent Dumestre’s Le Poème Harmonique once again immerses us in the France of the second half of the 16th century, which witnessed the emergence of new centres of artistic activity. These ‘bourgeois’ societies were initiated by patron princes concerned with building their prestige through the arts and letters just as much as by arms. At the same time, refined circles held by cultivated women enabled them to rub shoulders with the leading poets of the time, as well as musicians sensitive to humanist research, all profiting from a context propitious to the invention of new artistic forms and practices.

In 1743, two years before Rameau's Platee, Boismortier created an extraordinarily modern and madcap "comic ballet", Don Quichotte chez la Duchesse. As the exuberant plot unfurls, Cervantes' hero encounters monsters, enchanters, princesses and people from Japan, making for plenty of offbeat and audacious dances and choruses. Musical beauty rubs shoulders with satirical and irreverent comedy. A choice work for Herve Niquet, who leads his Concert Spirituel with unparalleled energy!

Following two progressive rock classics in Felona e Serona and Contrappunti, along with the excellent live recording Beyond Leng, Le Orme decided to change their successful formula. They added guitarist Tolo Marton and pursued a more pop-oriented style, which while hardly mainstream, proved to be a disappointment to their established fan base. History has not been kind to this oft-overlooked release, but to dismiss it completely would be a mistake. A thorough listen reveals some excellent moments, such as the guitar-heavy "Los Angeles" and the atmospheric pieces "Immensa Distesa" and "Laserium Floyd"…

For our first album, we have chosen three original works that have accompanied us through six years of experimentation, training, travel and success as a quintet. This chronologically limited musical programme paints a portrait of an era, between avant-garde effervescence, neo-classical temptations and world catastrophe. When André Jolivet composed his Chant de Linos in 1944, the world explored by Admiral Jean Cras had disappeared forever, and his music with it. At the Halfway point, László Lajtha’s work bears witness to an acute awareness of the political situation and an artistic posture that is both avant-garde and engaged: a certain art of musical irony?

Parmi les œuvres emblématiques de Versailles, les Symphonies pour les Soupers du Roi figurent au premier plan. Musiques d’un Palais convoquant un monde de passions, de caractères, d’intrigues, d’échos de batailles… ennobli par le faste des trompettes et des hautbois, elles résonnent jusqu’à nos jours comme les musiques du Plus Grand Roi du Monde. Certes, ce sont des « Musiques de Table » comme on en trouve ailleurs en Europe (le Banchetto Musicale de Schein en 1617, la Tafelmusik de Telemann en 1733), mais quel Prince peut aligner pour ce faire les 24 Violons du Roi, et les vents de sa royale Ecurie ? Avec le luxe d’un orchestre d’Opéra, voici Louis XIV mangeant en public chaque jour, un moment essentiel de la journée.

Au cours de l'année 356 av. J.C., un enfant qui sera nommé Alexandre naît au palais de Pella, en Macédoine. Parce que sa mère Olympias, fille du feu roi d'Epire Néoptolème, était une des courtisanes sacrées du sanctuaire de Samothrace avant son mariage avec Philippe,-régent de Macédoine - et parce que la mésentente règne entre ses parents - un doute plane sur sa légitimité. Qu'importe, puisque les présages le disent fils de Zeus et promis à une prodigieuse destinée. …

Cette biographie revisite la vie et le règne de Charles le Téméraire qui a gouverné par la peur et a été capable des pires atrocités, comme la destruction de Liège. Il subit deux défaites contre les Suisses, avant de périr dans la neige, devant Nancy, en 1477. Sa chute signe la mort de la féodalité au profit du royaume de France. …
