En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Daniela Skorka

Malgré une belle interprétation entre ombre et lumière, la production dirigée par Christophe Rousset pâtit d'un manque certain de prise de risques, tant du côté des voix que de la mise en espace.

Christophe Rousset leads Les Talens Lyrique in a double Baroque bill: Charpentier's Acteon and Purcell's Dido and Aeneas.

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).
