With Armide, Clorinda, Procris, Lucretia and more, heroines abound in the lyrical tragedies and cantatas of French baroque music, from Lully to Monteclair, and even in popular songs. Be they warriors or sorceresses, lovers or victims, their stories fascinated composers and audiences alike. Camille Delaforge has assembled a collection of exhilarating music, in which these extraordinary women are festooned with glory and love.
