Description

ENSEMBLE CARAVANSÉRAIL Maïlys de VILLOUTREYS soprano Rachel REDMOND soprano Isabelle SAINT-YVES viola da gamba Bertrand CUILLER organ, harpsicord and conducting   Program: Trois Leçons de Ténèbres pour le Mercredy (Three lessons of darkness for Mercredy) by François Couperin Suite for viola da gamba by Marin Marais Pieces for harpsichord by François Couperin   Composed for the liturgy of Holy Week on the text of the Lamentations of Jeremiah, François Couperin’s Leçons de Ténèbres pour le Mercredy are considered one of the highlights of baroque vocal art. This gem will be performed here by two of the most beautiful voices of the current baroque scene: Rachel Redmond and Maïlys de Villoutreys with the musicality of both resting on the powerful continuo of two great instrumentalists with a flagrant complicity: Isabelle Saint-Yves, viola da gamba, and Bertrand Cuiller, organ and harpsicord. A moment of suspension is awaiting us.
