Lys,marie - Handel: Inexorable Amour - Cantates Virtuoses - Music CD

Under Italian skies, the young Handel chiselled the human soul into music, providing Roman palaces with secular cantatas of incandescent virtuosity. This theatre of passions explores the thousand faces of love: from the torments of the dizzying Il delirio amoroso, to the lightness of Sans y penser, through to the chains of Un'alma innamorata and the lamentations of Crudel tiranno amor.Soprano Marie Lys lends her exquisite voice to the heroines of the "dear Saxon". Under the baton of Gatan Jarry, the Orchestre de l'Opra Royal revives this baroque ardour with supreme elegance.
