Acclaimed as “marvelous,” “superb,” and “outstandingly beautiful,” The Poet & Prodigy explores the intriguing relationship between two musical giants: François Couperin and J.S. Bach. Beyond the historical context, this disc celebrates the artistic partnership of Les Délices’ director and oboist Debra Nagy and acclaimed harpsichordist Mark Edwards.
Noel, Noel is a beautiful program of familiar favorites and little-known gems to brighten the holiday season. The album features original arrangements of classic carols from French, English, and German traditions, including favorites “In dulci jubilo” and “In the bleak midwinter” sung by soprano Elena Mullins Bailey.
The Highland Lassie, a Scottish baroque-crossover album, celebrates the permeable borders between folk song and art song, between country dance and cotillion with a peerless ensemble of baroque instrumentalists including guitarist Daniel Swenberg playing on an original 18th C. English guittar.
“Whether one is touched by the seeming longing and melancholy, or the glimmers of hope in the Baroque pieces, or the loving renditions of the jazz standards, it is a program that invites repeated listening. This is one of the finest surprises in Navona’s catalog not to be missed.” – Cinemusical.com
“The playing is outstanding for its artistry and verve.” – American Record Guide
“For sheer style and technique, Les Délices remains one of the finest French Baroque ensembles around, today.” – Fanfare
“Elegant phrasing and plangent sounds, vividly recorded…the centuries roll away when the members of Les Délices bring this long-existing music to communicative and sparkling life.” – ClassicalSource.com
