The female composers to whom Baroque violinist Sophie de Bardonnèche pays tribute enjoyed very different fates: while the name Élisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre (1665-1729) continued to be remembered, who knows Mlle Duval (born around 1718), the second woman to have a work presented at the Paris Opéra and nicknamed ‘la Légende’ in her time? Her opera-ballet, Les Génies, remains a testament to her great mastery. Then there were Anne-Madeleine Guesdon de Presles and Élisabeth-Louise Pellecier, composers married to composers - the latter signed her works with the name of her husband, Papavoine... Others found it easier to achieve the limelight because they were aristocrats, like Mlle de Menetou (1679-1745). No fewer than ten female composers are brought back to life in this programme of sonatas, overtures and dances devised by Sophie de Bardonnèche, a founder member of Le Consort, who is accompanied on her first solo album by her partners Lucile Boulanger and Justin Taylor.

Album release date → Novembre 2023 Stream//Download//Buy → https://lnk.to/PhilarmonicaID In the second half of the seventeenth century, London experienced an artistic golden age, with the arrival of many foreign musicians and the proliferation of theatres and concert halls where audiences came to listen to the stars of the moment. One of these musicians was the Italian Nicola Matteis, who arrived around 1660 and became the sensation of the London music scene. Purcell was only a child at the time and there is no record of their meeting, but it is very likely that he was familiar with Matteis’s works, including his Ayres, recorded here for the first time in a version for four-part consort. Exploration of this London effervescence yields to some surprising discoveries, such as the music of a mysterious composer who published trio sonatas around 1715 under the name Mrs Philarmonica. Le Consort presents the very first recording of this highly interesting music, probably influenced by Corelli and very likely written by a woman composer who, given the conventions of the time, made use of a pseudonym. Her true identity is unfortunately unknown to us.

Concert enregistré le 31 octobre 2020 au Festival de Royaumont. Téléchargez le programme complet : http://bit.ly/Programme-OSolitude ___ Paul-Antoine Bénos-Djian, contre-ténor Le Consort : Théotime Langlois de Swarte et Sophie de Bardonnèche, violons Louise Pierrard, viole de gambe Justin Taylor, clavecin ___ PROGRAMME Henry Purcell : "O solitude, my sweetest choice - Strike the viol - Suite pour clavecin en ré mineur - Here the deities approve" John Blow : "An ode of the Death of Mr Henry Purcell" Henry Purcell : "Music for a while" John Eccles : "The Mad Lover" ___ « Ô Solitude (...) / Que ces lieux consacrés à la nuit / Éloignés du monde et du bruit / Plaisent à mon inquiétude ! »... Les vers de O solitude, ce sommet de la musique baroque anglaise, sont en fait d’un Français, l’aventureux Marc-Antoine Girard de Saint-Amant, adroitement traduit par la poétesse Katherine Philips, mais ils correspondent bien au génie de celui qui les a mis en musique, l’incontournable Henry Purcell. L’auteur de Didon et Enée avait en effet un talent inouï pour tout transformer en mélodie mémorable. S’il n’a pas connu la solitude lui-même, alors qu’il surplombait la scène musicale londonienne de l’époque de Marie II, éclipsant tous ses contemporains, c’est qu’il était un homme de troupe, familier des théâtres, où il enchaînait les productions. Pour relire ses plus belles pages et parcourir celles de John Blow, dont Purcell a été l’élève, et de John Eccles, l’un des confrères qu’il croisait dans les coulisses, l’ensemble Le Consort fait à nouveau appel à une voix prometteuse, celle de Paul-Antoine Bénos, lauréat de Royaumont révélé en 2018 grâce à sa prestation dans le rôle-titre de Rinaldo de Haendel, sous la direction de Bertrand Cuiller. Clôturer le Festival par les savoureuses intuitions de Purcell, le remarquable sens des contrastes des quatre jeunes musiciens et la voix charnelle et profonde du contre-ténor a du sens : il n’est que justice que cette édition, qui a été préparée dans la solitude d’un confinement sanitaire, s’achève par une célébration collective de la beauté ! ___ Concert filmé grâce au soutien du Syndicat mixte Val d’Oise Numérique. ___ Pour ne rien rater, suivez Royaumont sur les réseaux sociaux : ➡️ Youtube : https://www.youtube.com/royaumont ➡️ Site internet : https://www.royaumont.com ➡️ Instagram : @royaumont ➡️ Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/royaumont ➡️ Twitter : @royaumont - https://twitter.com/royaumont ➡️ Abonnez-vous à notre newsletter : https://www.royaumont.com/fr/newsletter

Release date → August 2019 Stream//Download//Buy → https://lnk.to/LeConsort_Opus1ID Although Dandrieu is best-known for his talents as an organist, his trio sonatas deserve a prominent position in the chamber music of the period. They show a stunning mastery of style and variety of characters. Dances overflowing with energy, mischievous and impetuous counterpoint between the three parts, movements with highly expressive Italianate suspensions, articulation, phrasing, rhythm, gentleness, passion – in a word, life. He published them under the title Premier Œuvre in 1705, when he was twenty-three years old, our own age when we first met and played these sonatas: “Opus 1” was therefore a natural choice as the title for this album!’ say the members of Le Consort. ‘The trio sonata was created in the second half of the seventeenth century and Corelli, the master of the genre, helped to diffuse it throughout Europe. Dandrieu’s trio sonatas are marked by Corelli’s influence. And when he calls one of his harpsichord pieces “La Corelli”, he indicates himself as an heir to the great Italian maestro . . . We have arranged this piece as a sonata a tre.
