Passions run high as Ensemble l’Encyclopédie and soprano Sandrine Piau perform Pergolesi’s stunning Stabat Mater.
“A dazzling blend of wit and spontaneity from truly exceptional musicians” – that was how one critic hailed the playing of Ensemble L’Encyclopédie, before declaring them “utterly irresistible.” This exuberant new Franco-Swiss ensemble takes its inspiration from the Encylopedists: 18th century philosopher-artists driven by a mission to explore. Today, under its energising founder-director Florent Albrecht it does just that, playing the wonderfully dramatic music of Johann Adolph Hasse before joining the great Sandrine Piau and Stéphanie d’Oustrac in Pergolesi’s famous – and heart-rending – Stabat Mater. Prepare to be thrilled, and prepare to be moved: the age of enlightenment brought to passionate, vibrant life.
