Perpetual Night: 17th Century Ayres & Songs - Lucile Richardot, Ensemble Correspondances

The circulation of artists and sovereigns between France and England in the 17th century resulted in the establishment of highly original genres in England. The first recitatives, large-scale airs from masques and dramatic 'scenes' provided fertile ground for experimentation and prepared the way for the birth of semi-opera. Sébastien Daucé explores this English vocal art in a program tailor-made Lucile Richardot, one of today's most fascinating voices. In the exquisite setting provided by Ensemble Correspondances, subtly blends music, love, night and melancholy.
