Programme
Overview
Experience the haunting beauty of Charpentier and Couperin’s Leçons de Ténèbres, performed by Les Talens Lyriques in an evocative Baroque Tenebrae service. Immerse yourself in the profound depths of Holy Week through these timeless lamentations.In the hushed embrace of Holy Week, Les Talens Lyriques brings to life the evocative power of French Baroque lamentation. Delving into the Leçons de Ténèbres by Marc-Antoine Charpentier and François Couperin—melancholic reflections once performed in candlelit chapels on Holy Wednesday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday—this programme unveils a deeply poignant sound world of soprano lament and continuo resonance. Complemented by Charpentier’s intensely expressive responsories from his Tenebrae services, the performance weaves a dramatic arc of betrayal, trial and death, bathed in the ensemble’s dark-toned sonorities and refined poetic gestures. Audiences will be transported through somber passages of raw emotion towards moments of consoling light, experiencing anew the timeless devotion and sublime beauty at the heart of Baroque sacred music.
