Salieri: Les Horaces

Judith Van Wanroij (Camille), Cyrille Dubois (Curiace), Julien Dran (le jeune Horace), Jean-Sébastien Bou (le veil Horace), Philippe-Nicolas Martin (L’Oracle/un Albain/Valère/un Romain), Andrew Foster-Williams (Le Grand-Prêtre/le Grand-Sacrificateur), Eugénie Lefebvre (Une suivante de Camille) Les Talens Lyriques, Christophe Rousset

Christophe Rousset and his Talens Lyriques release the first world recording of Antonio Salieri’s Les Horaces, which they recreated at Versailles in 2016! To bring this score to life again, Christophe Rousset gathers a dream vocal cast: tenor Cyrille Dubois, Judith van Wanroij, Julien Dran or Jean-Sebastien Bou embody the fate of the characters inspired by the fratricidal struggle of Horatius and Curiatius in Ancient Rome, dramatically revived by an already romantic Salieri in his musical boldness. Fights, vows and great crowd scenes, the tears heroine Camilla, the Curiatius’ dilemma, or the implacable determination of old Horatius offer intense and original drama. A rarity and an absolute discovery!
