This recording shines a spotlight on chamber music composed for the French court at the turn of the 17th century: a subtle and refined art form, performed in the salons of the era and accompanying a topic that dominated courtly society at the time: love. The French court and aristocratic salons witnessed an extraordinary artistic boom during this period, leading to the development of the air de cour in vocal music. Pluhar, who is known for her creative musical curation, presents a programme of French baroque music on this album, featuring works by Robert de Visée, Antoine Boesset, Etienne Mouliné, Michel Lambert, and many more.
