      Album Details

      Dive into the enchanting world of French Baroque music with Marc-Antoine Charpentier's "La descente d'Orphée aux enfers, H. 488," a captivating chamber opera that showcases the composer's mastery of the genre. This 2018 release by Glossa presents an incomplete yet compelling two-act opera, featuring a stellar cast led by the renowned tenor Cyril Auvity.

      The album, spanning approximately one hour, offers a rich tapestry of arias and ensembles that bring to life the mythical tale of Orpheus' descent into the underworld. Charpentier's intricate compositions are beautifully rendered by a talented ensemble of singers and musicians, including Céline Scheen, Etienne Bazola, and Floriane Hasler, accompanied by the Ensemble Desmarest under the direction of Ronan Khalil.

      This recording is a testament to Charpentier's enduring legacy and his significant contributions to the Baroque opera repertoire. The intricate orchestration and vocal performances highlight the dramatic and lyrical depth of the score, making it a standout addition to any classical music collection. Whether you're a seasoned opera enthusiast or a curious newcomer, this album promises an immersive and rewarding listening experience.

      About Marc-Antoine Charpentier

      Marc-Antoine Charpentier, a prolific and versatile French composer of the Baroque era, left an indelible mark on the musical landscape of the 17th century. Born in Paris during the reign of Louis XIV, Charpentier's work is celebrated for its rich polyphony and emotional depth. One of his most enduring compositions is the stirring theme from the prelude of his Te Deum H.146, known as the "Marche en rondeau," which continues to captivate audiences today, notably as the iconic fanfare for the Eurovision Network and the European Broadcasting Union. Charpentier's journey took him to Rome, where he absorbed Italian musical influences, making him unique among his French contemporaries. His oratorios and choral works, such as the "Third Lesson of Darkness of Holy Wednesday," showcase his mastery of vocal composition and his ability to evoke profound spiritual experiences. Charpentier's legacy endures as one of the most important figures in French Baroque music, inspiring generations of composers and musicians.
