[With lighting that highlights the Baroque architecture! An exhilarating period instrument performance by the rapidly advancing Pichon and talented musicians.]
In France, a leading country in early music, it is no longer uncommon for children to first learn to play instruments like the viola da gamba or lute. Raphaël Pichon, a young and skilled conductor at the forefront of this movement, has gathered trusted musical colleagues to form Pygmalion, one of the early music ensembles most anticipated in Japan. While their skills have primarily been showcased in 18th-century works, this live performance video will reveal how masterfully they have grasped the essence of the Baroque era and how exceptionally well-suited they are to Monteverdi's unique musical world.
Against the backdrop of the Baroque interior of the former Royal Chapel at the Palace of Versailles, their live performance of Monteverdi's masterpiece begins with a prayer, evoking the original purpose of the work as a devotional piece. This is followed by a shift in lighting with the Toccata that forms the overture, powerfully conveying the force of music beyond mere worship. The soloists include the currently acclaimed Zaïcik and Toro, and the instrumental ensemble, kept small in scale relative to the chorus, makes a remarkable presence. This is a performance so full of vibrant energy that one can almost forget it is a rare opportunity to witness period instruments being played. This is a work that will be listened to repeatedly, and this is a period music video that should be seen now.
