After having embodied numerous heroines in her various recital albums, Sandrine Piau now embodies the powerful and wounded women depicted by Handel. "The wings of desire will have burned too quickly for these magicians who, like Icarus, fell from their pedestal due to the complete disrespect of their flight", explains the French soprano who admits to being particularly attracted to these "magnificent losers".
The enchantresses on this album form a multifaceted female portrait. On the eve of the new lockdown in the autumn of 2020, Jérôme Correas and his musicians of the Paladins orchestra were racing against time to bring this new recording to life. It was performed at the Théâtre de Poissy, near Paris, the very place where Sandrine Piau recorded her very first recital.
These virtuoso, aggressive, tender and moving arias by one of the great masters of opera present us with the tearful expressions of women. This particularly intense rite of passage brings together characters as different as Adelaide, Cleopatra, Lucrezia, Alcina, Melissa, Morgana and Almirena. Sandrine Piau reflects their complaints and despair with beauty. © François Hudry/Qobuz
