About

"Perce jusques au fond du cœur" ("Pierced to my heart's depths") is a tragic proclamation of Le
Cid's voice, at last put to music by "Mr Charpentier, famed for a thousand works that charmed
all of France"
. This collection of courtly arias, serious songs and drinking songs, played both at
the Court of Louis XV and in the inner circles of the French bourgeoisie, is a marvellous maze
on the Map of Tendre developed by Charpentier, a poet-musician whose sophistication vies with
an irresistible sense of theatricality! Under the direction of Stephane Fuget, the cream of French
vocalists restores the original aura of these gems, with glittering ornamentation.
