Our Take

Les Arts Florissants and William Christie have served up a delectable musical feast with their Deluxe Edition of Le Malade Imaginaire. This album is a whimsical journey through Molière's classic play, brought to life through exquisite Baroque music and vibrant storytelling.

From the moment you press play, you are transported to a world of wacky characters, hilarious misunderstandings, and toe-tapping tunes. Christie's direction is impeccable, guiding the talented ensemble with a playful flair that captures the essence of Molière's satire.

The orchestration is lush and dynamic, with each instrument adding its own unique flavour to the mix. The vocal performances are top-notch, with the ensemble blending seamlessly to create a rich tapestry of sound.

Standout tracks include the energetic overture, the cheeky "Airs de Clindor," and the hauntingly beautiful "Chaconne des Symptômes." Each track is a gem in its own right, showcasing Christie's masterful interpretation and the ensemble's exceptional musicianship.

Overall, Le Malade Imaginaire (Deluxe Edition) is a must-have for fans of Baroque music, theatre, or just good old-fashioned fun. With its infectious energy and impeccable artistry, this album is sure to delight listeners of all ages. So grab a glass of wine, sit back, and let Les Arts Florissants and William Christie take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Cheers to that!
