Proserpine

Jean-Baptiste Lully's Proserpine was composed in 1680 in collaboration with his trusted librettist Philippe Quinault. The first recording on GLOSSA was made in 2006/2007 following stage performances in Paris and Versailles with a first-class group of soloists who were very familiar with the special demands of French Baroque vocal technique. Herve Niquet and his ensemble Le Concert Spirituel gave us a magnificent musical firework display of French baroque opera on the first release, which still ignites today.
