Performer: Le Jardin des Voix

Bei Christie und Merzouki verschwammen die inneren und äußeren Grenzen der Rollen und Stile, um eine unvergessliche Gemeinschaft eines fabelhaften, zeitlosen Feengartens zu schaffen.

The Toronto Summer Music Festival opens with Les Arts Florissants’ enchanting performance of Purcell’s The Fairy Queen, featuring the singers of Le Jardin des voix and the dancers of Compagnie Käfig.

An imaginatively programmed and deftly executed concert from William Christie's Arts Florissants and Jardin des Voix offers many delights in the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall.

In a city where period-instrument concerts are legion, performances by William Christie and his excellent ensemble Les Arts Florissants remain very special events, if only because their original programming brings a breath of fresh air in a country where, still too often, baroque music isn’t taken very seriously if it isn’t Bach.

Spring has sprung and the arts flourish at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Earlier this week, William Christie and his superb ensemble Les Arts Florissants revived Charpentier’s David et Jonathas, first produced at the 2012 Festival d’Aix-en-Provence (review here).
