Ivresse de la mélancolie
Un violon, un luth : deux artistes fréquemment réunis sur la scène musicale baroque ont décliné dans cette combinaison le secret d’un alliage précieux, puisé à la source de la melancholy anglaise du XVIIe. Ce « Mad Lover », cet amant inconsolé dont Théotime Langlois de Swarte et Thomas Dunford nous content l’histoire, c’est la figure autour de laquelle tous les violonistes gravitant autour de Charles II se sont retrouvés, dans le sillage du prodigieux Nicola Matteis. Les tournures envoûtantes de ce discours amoureux, renouvelé par l’exubérance et la liberté de ces musiciens venus d’Italie, résonnent jusque dans la musique populaire d’aujourd’hui.
Exalted melancholy
A violin and a lute: with this choice line-up, our pair of instrumentalists – and frequent partners on the current Baroque music scene – illuminates some aspects of an elusive amalgam that constitutes the 17th-century English notion of melancholy. The inconsolable ‘Mad Lover’ of the album title is reimagined by Théotime Langlois de Swarte and Thomas Dunford as a character from the reign of Charles II: a tale told through music from the pen of such violin virtuosos as the prodigiously gifted Nicola Matteis. Heightened by the exuberance and abandon common to those musicians transplanted from Italy, the beguiling nuances of this language of yearning and loss continue to echo in the popular music of our time.
