Venus and Adonis: Les Musiciens Du Paradis (Bertrand Cuiller) (2013)

After the successes of Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme and Cadmus and Hermione, Alpha is continuing its audiovisual exploration of lyric repertoires offering, for the first time on video, John Blow's Venus and Adonis, accompanied by his Ode to Saint Cecilia. All the components that contributed to the success of the first two videos are again present here: body movements, ballets, candle lighting, restored English...This is also the occasion to discover the conducting talent of Bertrand Cuiller, whose approach to these works features relief, virtuosity and sensitivity.
