Filming: rehearsal on Monday 17 August 2020 at the Foundation Singer-Polignac in Paris

The ensemble Les Talens Lyriques receives subsidies from the French Ministry of Culture and the City of Paris, and generous support from its Circle of Patrons. The ensemble wishes to thank its principal Patrons, the Annenberg Foundation / GRoW - Gregory and Regina Annenberg Weingarten, Madame Aline Foriel-Destezet and Mécénat Musical Société Générale. Since 2011 Les Talens Lyriques have been associate artists, in residence at the Singer-Polignac Foundation in Paris. 

Les Talens Lyriques are founding members of FEVIS (Federation of Specialised Vocal and Instrumental Ensembles) and of PROFEDIM (Professional Union of Music Producers, Festivals, Ensembles, and Independent Distributors).

Peu après sa mort en 1695, Henry Purcell accède au Parnasse : Henry Playford grave deux recueils en 1698 et 1702 qu’il couronne du titre d’ « Orpheus britannicus ».  Cette publication est une anthologie posthume des plus belles « songs » pour une, deux ou trois voix avec ou sans symphonie (c’est-à-dire accompagnées ou non des flûtes et violons). Elle remporte un tel succès qu’elle fut augmentée en 1706 et 1721.

Christophe Rousset retrouve avec bonheur un répertoire qui constitua en 1993 un de ses premiers enregistrements discographiques. Il y puise des pièces choisies pour mezzo-soprano. L’atmosphère est intime – le clavecin et le luth accompagnent la voix seule. Elle laisse la part belle au génie de Purcell qui sut d’une manière prodigieuse créer un art anglais, héritier de la tradition élisabéthaine et résolument en marge des esthétiques françaises ou italiennes prédominantes.
