About the Event
An exceptional recital with Mathieu Salama featuring the greatest composers of Baroque music.
A delightful, timeless musical voyage in an intimate atmosphere. A musical journey through time with choirs!
FOLIES BAROQUES is a rare recital of the Baroque repertoire. Emotion, joy and sharing with the audience are the common thread running through this musical journey.
Mathieu Salama's aim with this concert is to make Baroque music accessible to all.
To achieve this, he will forge a close bond with the audience, involving them in interactive moments of song. The explanations that punctuate the recital will also enlighten the listener, involving him or her in this joyful journey through time, and helping him or her to discover the enigmatic and fascinating world of the castrati, and the repertoire of these sublime 'voices of angels'.
Castrati, with their distinctive tessitura, left their mark on the 17th and 18th centuries with their limpid vocal timbre.
True symbols of the purity and musical aesthetics of bel canto, they have always exerted an almost mystical fascination on their audiences.
Few artists today are capable of bewitching you like a Farinelli. Mathieu Salama, the lyric countertenor sopranist with such a singular voice and sometimes strange inflections, will pay exceptional tribute to the castrati during this concert. He revives the repertoire of arias, sacred arias and opera arias composed for the great castrati by the greatest masters of the Baroque period (Handel, Caccini, Caldara, Porpora, Bach, Purcell).
Men have often sought in instruments sonorities close to the human voice. The alchemy of Mathieu Salama's voice with the proximity of the sounds of Bruno Angé's viol and Olivier Pelmoine's theorbo is a unique musical experience.
