Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s drama in miniature Actéon retells the myth of the hunter who was punished by Diana for having surprised the goddess while she was bathing. Actéon was originally composed for a countertenor, but Charpentier reworked the piece a few months later and then entrusted the title role to a treble. Set for a mix of performers that Charpentier liked to use often — a few singers, two violins, two flutes and basso continuo — Actéon and Actéon changé en Biche reveal all his dramatic and expressive skills. Scherzi Musicali now presents a comparison of these two versions: the second version is recorded here for the first time.

Jean Cocteau was many things: poet, playwright, artist, filmmaker, collaborator, self-inventor - each description fits, but none is sufficient. His work darts and pivots, one mask slipping as another appears. But beneath the surface, the same fixations recur, especially love, death, dependence and abandonment. This album stays close to his restlessness, touching melodrama, popular culture, prayer, aphorism, dance, cabaret and theatre, as styles collide, and the masks occasionally fall. At the centre of the program stands La Voix Humaine, Cocteau's searing study of love, loss and fractured communication, alongside a sequence of songs by Poulenc, Milhaud, Honegger, Auric and others reflecting Cocteau's wide artistic circle, where high art and popular culture meet without hierarchy. The result is not a comprehensive survey, but rather a carefully drawn portrait, shaped by affection and curiosity.

Danse encore : c'est un refus de l'immobile et de l'essoufflement. Le titre du neuvième album de Clarika traduit un geste d'obstination, un désir, le voeu de rester en mouvement. Danser encore, même si le sol tremble. Sans frein, danser au-dessus de l'anxiété générale et des petits tracas. Danser avec les figures familières, et les nouvelles. Faire valser nos intimes et en reconnaître la poésie, même simple, même inaperçue.
