Our Take
Ensemble Marguerite Louise and their motley crew of musicians have resurrected the spirit of the 17th century with their latest offering, "Lully & Moliere: George Dandin - La Grotte De Versailles". This album is like taking a time machine back to the era of powdered wigs and extravagant court performances.
Gaetan Jarry's conducting is as precise as a tailor fitting a nobleman's coat, guiding the ensemble through Jean-Baptiste Lully's intricate compositions with grace and flair. Cecile Achille's vocals soar like a lark in springtime, capturing the essence of Moliere's comedic genius with every note.
David Witczak's violin solos add a touch of whimsy to each track, while Juliette Perret's harpsichord playing is as delicate as a delicate vase in a royal palace. Caroline Arnaud's flute melodies dance around the listener like courtiers at a lavish ball, while Virginie Thomas's oboe lines add a touch of melancholy to the mix.
David Ghilardi's bassoon playing is as sturdy as a steed in battle, providing a solid foundation for Francois-Olivier Jean's regal trumpet fanfares. Virgile Ancely's percussion work is as lively as a jester's antics, keeping the energy levels high throughout.
Overall, "Lully & Moliere: George Dandin - La Grotte De Versailles" is a delightful romp through the courtly world of France's Sun King. Ensemble Marguerite Louise and their talented collaborators have crafted a musical treasure that deserves to be heard by all lovers of Baroque music and comedy. Long live the spirit of Lully and Moliere!
