Our Take

Charpentier's "Medee" performed by Le Concert Spirituel under the direction of Herve Niquet is a wild ride through French Baroque music that will leave you breathless and begging for more. Marine Lafdal-Franc's haunting vocals soar above the intricate orchestration, while Jehanne Amzal's mastery of the harpsichord adds a touch of whimsy to the proceedings.

Fabien Hyon's expert handling of the viola da gamba brings a lush depth to the score, while David Tricou's nimble flute playing dances around the edges of the music, leading you on a merry chase through Charpentier's intricate melodies.

Floriane Hasler and Adrien Fournaison provide a solid foundation on the basso continuo, anchoring the ensemble in a rich tapestry of sound. Veronique Gens and Cyrille Dubois deliver powerful performances as Medee and Jason, their voices blending in a harmonious duet that will send shivers down your spine.

Helene Carpentier's delicate touch on the violin adds a touch of sweetness to the mix, while David Witczak's deft handling of the oboe brings a touch of whimsy to the proceedings. Thomas Dolie and Judith van Wanroij round out the ensemble with their impeccable musicianship, making "Medee" a must-listen for any fan of early music.

In conclusion, Charpentier's "Medee" is a triumph of French Baroque music, with Le Concert Spirituel and Herve Niquet delivering a performance that is as thrilling as it is beautiful. Don't miss out on this gem of an album – it's a true masterpiece that deserves to be heard by all.
