Chœur de Chambre de Namur, Les Talens Lyriques, Christophe Rousset

Salieri: Armida
Lenneke Ruiten (Armida), Teresa Iervolino (Ismene), Florie Valiquette (Rinaldo), Ashley Riches (Ubaldo)
Les Talens Lyriques, Chœur de Chambre de Namur, Christophe Rousset
The cast is solid. The title-role has strong possibilities which soprano Lenneke Ruiten regularly seizes, among them the opera’s close, when Armida’s destructive fury reaches its apogee. Teresa... — More…

Cyril Auvity (Acis/Apollon), Ambroisine Bré (Galatée/Diane), Edwin Crossley-Mercer (Polyphème), Les Talens Lyriques, Christophe Rousset
Rousset’s mesmerising conducting binds chorus to band in Lully’s most striking passages...The principals are equally arresting...The palm, however, goes to the band and chorus of the Les Talens... — More…

Les Talens Lyriques & Choeur de Chambre de Namur, Christophe Rousset
Yann Beuron is the keenly engaged Uthal, while Jean-Sébastien Bou gives Larmor a wronged nobility and Karine Deshayes is consistently expressive as the anguished Malvina. There’s characterful... — More…

Les Ambassadeurs, La Grande Écurie, Chœur de Chambre de Namur, Alexis Kossenko

Lully: Isis
Eve-Maud Hubeaux, Cyril Auvity
Chamber Choir of Namur, Les Talens Lyriques, Christophe Rousset
Isis is classic Lully…Asked to focus on words, the soloists sound deliberately ugly at times, which highlights their flawless execution elsewhere. Standout cast members are Eve-Maud Hubeaux,... — More…
