A perfect way to introduce yourself to the Clemencic Consort, Nov 12 2003

This review is from: Moliere (Audio CD)
The early-music group led by Rene Clemencic puts on a tremendous performance in this soundtrack disc of the 1978 film MOLIERE. This compilation allows you to sample the consort's instrumentals (uniquely historical) their lively interpretations, excellent vocals by the Deller consort, plus original Clemencic compositions. A great way to introduce yourself to this reknowned group of international artists.

The Clemencic Consort is most splendid and in top form on this unusual disc. The music serves to showcase the virtuosity of the individual performers and the unique historical instruments the consort employs. Rene Clemencic is known as a visionary in his approach and he does not disappoint here. The vocals are haunting, especially in "La Mort de Moliere" -- nothing short of devastating, kindly pardon me.

A beautiful rare gem from the soundtracks universe, Mar 18 2006

I bought this CD with certain hesitation because it is a soundtrack. However, when hearing it the subtle sounds, the masterful interpretations, the beautiful voices of Marjorie Vance and Elisabeth Guy-Kummer and the master direction of Rene Clemencic, moved my soul tremendously. La Princesse Elide, Carnaval et Revolte, Armande and La Mort de Moliere will be, for sure, amongst the favourites of most listeners of this not to be missed album, a rare find in Amazon.com although normal in Amazon.fr. And hear carefully to the compelling percussions in La Foire de Toulouse. Buy and enjoy.
