Amarillis is among the most original of Europe's Baroque ensembles. Formed in 1994, the ensemble has received three international awards: First Prize, York Early Music Competition (1995), First Prize, FNAPEC "Musique d'Ensemble" Competition (April 1997), First Prize and the Public Prize at the Sinfonia Competition, chaired by Gustav Leonhardt (September 1997). According to the requirements of the repertoire, the basic nucleus of the ensemble is joined by other musicians of recognised talent. Amarillis works regularly with the finest singers of its generation, including Patricia Petibon, Stephanie d'Oustrac and Robert Getchell. The ensemble has received the highest praise from the national and international press for its recordings (10 CDs) on the Ambroisie-Naive label. Their most recent recording, also with Stephanie d'Oustrac, is devoted to 17th-century Italian music by Cavalli, Monteverdi, A. Scarlatti and others, and was released in October 2011 on the Ambronay label. “These unfailingly excellent performances of attractive chamber works provide plenty of evidence to explain why the youngest child of the famous Leipzig Cantor was such an important musical role model for Mozart...conversational quick movements sparkle with witty use of beguiling instrumental sonorities; elegant slow music is played with idiomatic refinement.” Gramophone Magazine, May 2012 | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |

| |  | Ferveur & Extase
Stéphanie d'Oustrac (mezzo) & Violaine Cochard (harpsichord, direction) Amarillis From Dido's desperate love to Mary's poignant fervour... This sumptuous album, combines the sacred and profane, the cult of the Virgin Mary as opposed to Dido, Queen of Carthage, almost exclusively by 17th century Venetian Baroque composers. It includes the iconic aria [Dido's Lament], Cavalli's Lamento di Didone and Scarlatti's Didone delirante, long thought lost, and a previously unrecorded cantata by Faggioli. The vocally distinctive, theatrically brilliant French mezzo Stephanie d'Oustrac is accompanied by Ens Amarillis and Violaine Cochard. “the sequence never feels like a series of bleeding chunks - indeed, among recordings of 17th-century Italian music, this programme stands out for its musical integrity and cohesiveness...d'Oustrac responds to the music's vacillating moods with a gorgeous variety of vocal effects and colours.” BBC Music Magazine, December 2011 ***** “[d'Oustrac] demonstrates arresting dramatic personality and intelligence with text to go with a mezzo voice with enough flexibility, lyrical composure and fragility enough to prevent her from sounding like an identikit raving lady.” Gramophone Magazine, February 2012 | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |

While being close to us, these myths also take us into another world. “Really desirable… an enjoyable programme.” Gramophone | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |
