XVIII-21 Musique des lumières
Italian tunes from the 18th century played by Jesuits at the court of the emperor of China, and Chinese tunes played by the musicians from this very same court that the very same Jesuits came to christianize: this recording is the result of a genuine two years encounter, the achievement of a mutual listening between these two musical ensembles, a kind of historical reconstitution. The subtle superposition of the musics and of the contemporary instruments is very successful, leading to unexpected harmonies and paces. One will note on this album the participation of serpent player Michel Godard.
