Melancholia


24 FLAC Discount

A most unusual cabinet of curiosities 'Finding pleasure even in meditating on what causes one's pain': that neatly defines the theme of this album of music from the cusp of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Here Italian and English madrigals rub shoulders with motets and Tenebrae responsories. A melancholic poetry that provided endless nourishment for musical creativity in the late Renaissance, and which Geoffroy Jourdain presents in his first recording for harmonia mundi.

Un cabinet de curiosités peu ordinaire "Trouver du plaisir dans la méditation même de ce qui cause ses peines" : ainsi pourrait se définir la thématique de cet album à la charnière des XVIe et XVIIe siècles. Madrigaux italiens et anglais y côtoient motets ou répons des Ténèbres… Une poésie mélancolique qui a nourri inlassablement la création musicale de la fin de la Renaissance et que Geoffroy Jourdain nous livre à la faveur de ce premier enregistrement pour harmonia mundi.
