Our Take

In the annals of obscure Baroque composers, Charles-Joseph Van Helmont is a name that rarely gets dropped at cocktail parties. But fear not, music aficionados, for Scherzi Musicali and Nicolas Achten are here to shed light on this forgotten figure with their latest release, "Lecons De Tenebres."

From the moment the first haunting notes of the title track hit your earbuds, you know you're in for a wild ride. Achten's ethereal vocals intertwine with delicate harpsichord melodies, creating a soundscape that is equal parts haunting and beautiful. It's like being transported to a candlelit chapel in 17th-century France, where you can almost smell the incense wafting through the air.

Throughout the album, Scherzi Musicali's impeccable musicianship shines through, bringing Van Helmont's compositions to life with a modern twist. Tracks like "Miserere" and "Quando Corre Desio" showcase their ability to blend traditional Baroque elements with a contemporary sensibility, creating a sound that is both timeless and fresh.

At times introspective and melancholic, "Lecons De Tenebres" is a mesmerizing journey through the musical world of a long-forgotten composer. So, if you're looking to expand your musical horizons and indulge in some truly exquisite sounds, look no further than this gem from Scherzi Musicali and Nicolas Achten. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
