Lucile Richardot - Un lieu à soi (2024) Hi-Res

The rising ensemble, ActeSix, surrounded by the greatest artists of a generation, the singers Lucile Richardot, Maïlys de Villoutreys, Anaïs Bertrand, the pianists Adam Laloum and Alexis Gournel, the violist Hélène Desaint, the violist Julie Dssaisnt, the harpsichordist Ronan Khalil and led by the brilliant Samuel Hengebaert, signs here an exceptional double album as much melancholy as it is jubilant. Inspired by Virginia Woolf's manifesto A Place of One's Own ActeSix pays tribute to the composers who have marked the history of the Crowned Island and to the lush and muted colors of English music from the 17th century to the present day. From Benjamin Britten to Rebecca Clarke via Henry Purcell, Ethel Smyth or Mary Dering, ActeSix provides a true invitation to a musical journey into nature and the landscapes across the Channel.
