Since its foundation in 2014, Thibault Noally’s ensemble Les Accents
brings to life rare works from the Italian Baroque era: in particular
the vocal repertoire of the 17
th and 18
th
centuries. Their new record features unpublished extracts of oratorios.
Born at the same time and made of the same theatrical stuff as his opera
brother, the oratorio, a lyric and dramatic work without staging, also
moves the crowds! And its heroines Athalie and Judith have the same
temper as their operatic counterparts.The virtuoso arias of Caldara,
Scarlatti (father) or Porpora performed by the mezzo-soprano
Blandine Staskiewicz, full of baroque ornaments and jubilant flights, also
testify to the instrumental ardor of the genre: the dramatic effects of
the orchestra, the alternation of allegros and adagios, and the various
of playing modes marry the movements of the passions of these characters
with great intensity.
