By the fire we make love - Gallant airs
Charpentier, the poet musician with exquisite refinement, created a labyrinth of amorous and festive songs that charmed the intimate circles of the Bourgeoisie and the Court of Louis XIV. Under the direction of Stéphane Fuget, the cream of French singing restores these gems to their original glory.

BY THE FIRE WE MAKE LOVE
MARC-ANTOINE CHARPENTIER (1643-1704)
Serious songs and drinking songs
Claire Lefilliâtre · Gwendoline Blondeel · Cyril Auvity · Marc Mauillon · Geoffroy Buffière
The Epics
Stéphane Fuget, conductor
“Percé jusques au fond du cœur” (“Pierced to my heart’s depths”) is a tragic proclamation of Le Cid’s voice, at last put to music by “Mr Charpentier, famed for a thousand works that charmed all of France”. This collection of courtly arias, serious airs and drinking songs, played both at the Court of Louis XIV and in the inner circles of the French bourgeoisie, is a marvellous maze on the Map of Tendre developed by Charpentier, a poet-musician whose sophistication vies with an irresistible sense of theatricality! Under the direction of Stéphane Fuget, the cream of French vocalists restores the original aura of these gems, with glittering ornamentation.
Recorded from March 24th to March 28th, 2022 in the Crusades Rooms of the Palace of Versailles.
