About

With this new album, the ensemble Il Festino aims to reveal the whole range of nuances associated with love and womanhood. Two female singers, accompanied by five instrumentalists, guide us on this enlightening journey.

Love and sensuality seen through the medium of woman inspire the highest points of Monteverdi’s music. He reminds us that mystical love is imbued with sensuality, even eroticism, and that sensual pleasure and passionate, carnal love for a woman border on the sacred.

Directed by lutenist Manuel de Grange, Il Festino remains faithful to the aesthetics and declamatory rules of the 17th century for singing, storytelling and instrumental music, played on ancient instruments. Since its creation in 2009, Il Festino has performed in concert at major festivals in France and abroad.
