About
Airs, cantatas & madrigals (Le Jardin des Voix #2)
Les Arts Florissants, directed by William Christie & Paul Agnew
This concert was recorded live at the Melbourne Recital Centre in Australia within the framework of Le Jardi des Voix: the Academy launched by Les Arts Florissants in 2002 as a showcase for young talent. William Christie and Paul Agnew, the co-directors of the Academy, are well known as fine teachers and indefatigable talent-spotters. Here they present six promising young singers, hitherto unknown to the general public, who were auditioned and recruited from almost 200 candidates.
"Love, hatred, jealousy, disenchantment and wrath are expressed by turns in 'Orlando furioso', probably the most influential text of that period. De Wert’s madrigal ‘Queste non son più lagrime’ borrows lines from Ariosto’s masterpiece, while Handel’s Orlando and Vivaldi’s Orlando furioso, excerpts from which are presented here, both take inspiration from it. If the first part of our recording describes the expressive powers of early Baroque, the second part is a light-hearted exploration of later works, with musicians themselves as the subject." William Christie and Paul Agnew.
