Following on their exploration of 17th-century English song (Perpetual Night), Sébastien Daucé, the Ensemble Correspondances and Lucile Richardot find themselves on the shores of the Baltic Sea in the same century, unearthing a treasury of music both beautiful and rare: the sacred music of the Court of Stockholm.
A fascinating musical voyage in the form of a meditation on the meaning of life and its ending.
"Warm gut strings contrast beautifully with the cool, smooth voice of Richardot, who ranges from deep masculine depths to delicate filigree, as she tackles intricate ornamental passagework." BBC Music
"Ensemble Correspondances conjure up an intimate, focused sound world, in which every detail tells. But the star of the show is soloist Lucile Richardot, who is listed as a mezzo but might at times be mistaken for a countertenor." Gramophone Award Nomination 2026 - Voice & Ensemble
