Ensemble Beatus: L'orient Des Troubadours

Ensemble Beatus, Jean-Paul Rigaud, vocals & hurdy-gurdy; Jasser Haj Youssef, viola d'amore

Venite populi / Farai un vers / Pois vezem / Pois tornatz / Maqâm / Lanquan li jorn / Atressi cum Persavaus / Bachraf Samai Isbain / Tres enemics / Dhil / Ara-m requier / Lo gent cors onratz

Amongst the multiple sources of inspiration known to the art of the troubadours, it is the Arabic Andalusia's influence that the baritone Jean-Paul Rigaud and the violist Jasser Haj Youssef have chosen to bring To light. To confront this repertoire with the ornamentation of eastern traditions, with improvisation, whilst preserving the originality of the courteous song, whose first supporting instrument was the spoken word, is the path chosen and followed by the Ensemble Beatus through this disc.
