Our Take

In this enchanting album LES ARGONAUTES / JONAS DESCOTTE takes us on a journey through the mesmerizing world of Henry Purcell's Dido & Aeneas, with a twist of Circe thrown in for good measure.

The album opens with a bang, as Descotte's mastery of the violin brings the haunting melodies of Purcell to life. His playing is as fluid as a river, effortlessly guiding us through the highs and lows of Dido's tragic love story.

But it's not just Descotte who shines on this record. The entire ensemble of LES ARGONAUTES is on fire, with every note hitting the mark with precision and passion. The vocal performances, in particular, are a highlight, with each singer bringing their own unique flair to the classic opera.

As we delve deeper into the album, the influence of Circe becomes more apparent, with the music taking on a darker and more mysterious tone. LES ARGONAUTES does an impressive job of blending these two seemingly disparate works into a cohesive whole, creating a truly unique listening experience.

Overall, Purcell: Dido & Aeneas / Circe is a triumph for LES ARGONAUTES / JONAS DESCOTTE, showcasing their incredible talents and creativity. So sit back, relax, and let the music wash over you – you won't be disappointed.
