At the end of the world, on the mythical island of Ogygia, while Neptune unleashes a storm, the inconsolable Calypso tries to seduce a handsome young castaway named Telemachus… Will Ulysses’ son respond to the nymph’s dangerous charms? Will he manage, as a humble mortal in the scheme of the gods, to escape the island where his father was once a prisoner ? A quintessential Homeric epic, Telemaque & Calypso is a flamboyant tribute to Destouches’ own dramatic efficiency, and his particular attention to “lively speech” and natural declamation. After Semiramis, Sylvain Sartre continues his brilliant journey through the masterpieces of the adventurous composer and musketeer, which are now finally revealed.

J.S. Bach’s son Johann Christian arrived in London in 1762, and with his fellow composer Carl Friedrich Abel established a series of prestigious concerts that ran for 17 years. Music heard at the Bach-Abel recitals is surveyed on this intriguing album by the Swiss ensemble Les Ombres. The sprightly Quartet in D Major by J.C. Bach, two pensive pieces for bass viol by Abel, and a charmingly Mozartian Harpsichord Quintet by Johann Samuel Schröter are among the highlights, and three of Haydn’s numerous arrangements of Scottish songs are brightly sung by mezzo-soprano Fiona McGown. Les Ombres play on period instruments, imparting an extra tang to this fascinating slice of aural history.

Théotime Langlois de Swarte continues his exploration of the violin repertory of the early eighteenth century. In this programme, he highlights the links between three leading composers for the instrument, whose popularity was burgeoning at the time: Vivaldi, father of the violin concerto, and two of his most brilliant younger contemporaries, Locatelli and Leclair. A disc which, beyond the interplay of echoes and personal connections, showcases the extraordinary versatility of an instrument as virtuosic as it is poetic.

After two albums released by Ambronay which have received numerous plaudits, the Swiss baroque ensemble Les Ombres present an album dedicated to Telemann’s ‘Paris’ Quartets: repertoire they played at York Early Music Festival in 2012 in a young artists’ showcase.
Pleased with the reception of his quartets from the Parisian public, Telemann completed an edition of six new quartets subsequently appointed ‘Pariser Quartett’. These contrast with the first set in their decidedly French style. In chamber formation Les Ombres explore the unique style of these jewels of baroque music.

Un inconnu vous dévoile les fastes de la Chapelle Royale de Louis XV : Charles-Hubert Gervais en fut le Maître de Chapelle dès 1723, et représente donc parfaitement la splendeur de la musique sacrée à la Cour de Versailles. Héritier des grandes fresques de Lully et Lalande, Gervais est avant tout un compositeur d’opéra, et son style dramatique fait vibrer ses Grands Motets de couleurs italiennes. Chez ce protégé du Régent Philippe d’Orléans dont il fut le musicien favori durant deux décennies, puissance d’évocation et pompe versaillaise prennent aussi pour parure le style galant. Servi comme un Roi par des interprètes magnifiques, voici Gervais tout à la gloire de Versailles !
