This recording was made back in 2003. It has taken Virgin Classics nearly 5 years to publish it.
The disc features music composed in the first half of the 17th century, mainly Italian music being introduced into France by Cardinal Mazarin. So much for the musical background.
If you love music of the early Baroque and post-Renaissence period, this disc will surely satisfy you to the full.
The instruments employed in the small ensemble are period instruments, and the album contains showcases of various instrumental combinations. The crowning aspect of the ensembles lies in the listen-to-believe counter-tenor Philippe Jaroussky's angelic voice.
Subsequent to this recording, Jaroussky has made many other solo albums mainly from the Baroque repertoire, notably Vivaldi.
While his Vivaldi is superb, the present recording, in my own view, represents the best of his vocal capabilities.
The excerpts and songs mainly focus on his middle to upper range, and with his solely head-voiced timbre, projects a stunningly serene and beautiful sound that no sopranos or mezzos are capable of: the sound is bigger, rounder, fuller and more supple. Without stretching himself as in his other Vivaldi arias, Jaroussky here concentrates on his biggest strength and absolute vocal command. By
