ln an Italian Garden is a celebration of Christie’s great passion, ltalian lyric works from the 16th to 18th centuries, to be performed by instrumentalist of Les Arts Florissants and six outstanding young singers chosen from his master-class academy, Le Jardin des Voix. The first half of the concert explores the subjects of love, beauty, rage and jealousy with excerpts from the operas of Stradella, Vivaldi and Handel, as well as madrigals by the contemporaries of Montev.
Recorded at the Cité de la Musique, Philharmonie 2, Paris
Since its first edition, in 2002, Les Arts Florissants ’young singers’ academy, the Jardin des Voix has a main place in the scene of french professionnal training. A real breeding-ground for talents, it trained a whole "new generation of singers who became passionate performers and defenders of the baroque repertoire" as Wiliam Christie says. Sonya Yoncheva, Christophe Dumaux, Emmanuelle de Negri or Amel Brahim-Djelloul are part of those talents revealed to the public during its international tours. This edition presents Lucía Martín-Cartón, Léa Desandre, Carlo Vistoli, Nicholas Scott, Renato Dolcini and John-Taylor Ward.
