"It almost felt like we were sneaking in, the Pygmalion ensemble and I, that week in December 2020 as we walked through the great door of the church where we were recording. Travel permits and test results were no match for the magic of this music. Bach and Handel sound so soothingly familiar. With this programme, we wanted to express sorrow, repentance, joy and desire through the secular and sacred scores of these two composers. From Cleopatra to the character of the Sinner in the cantata BWV 199, the tears flow, and the soul seeks rest". They are numerous, these works set against a background of pandemics, to have marked thus the albums recorded these last months. Sabine Devieilhe's words from the cover sum up the spirit of catharsis in which the soprano and the Ensemble Pygmalion have recorded this programme. Here we will find Bach's religious cantatas Mein Herze schwimmt in Blut, BWV 199 (literally ‘My heart is bathed in blood’) and Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen, BWV 51 (‘Exalt in God in all lands’), as well as excerpts from Handel's oratorios Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno, HWV 46a and Brockes Passion, HWV 48 and from his opera Giulio Cesare in Egitto, HWV 17. Raphaël Pichon conducts a Pygmalion alert to the sharp entries, drawn out by Sabine Devieilhe's heartbreaking, sublime voice. The emphasis is on the theatrical impact of the texts; this is particularly compelling in the cantata Mein Herz schwimmt in Blut. Devieilhe was not wrong when she said that "the tears flow and the soul seeks rest". One can sense the precision of the work undertaken for the timbre of each instrument, in particular for the organ which explores unexpected but pleasant tones in its sharp upper register. The performance of baritone Stéphane Degout—who joins the ensemble for the duet “Soll mein Kind, mein Leben sterben / Ja, ich sterbe dir zu gut” taken from the Brockes-Passion—is, however, less convincing, but perhaps this is due to Devieilhe's sunlit presence that is difficult to rival. © Pierre Lamy/Qobuz
