With an octet of soloists, a double orchestra and a double choir, this trilogy brings together sixty-three artists in unison. And the conductor warns us: "You have to be a little mad to do this, to reproduce this exceptional acoustic effect, which makes Heaven and Earth communicate. I have been working on Charpentier for a long time and I understand him very quickly today, I decipher his mathematics: when you pay close attention to his rhythm and his metre, the music emerges of its own accord."…
