Video Interview, Cyrille Dubois on Fauré and treasures of the French Baroque

19th October 2023

Following his victory at the Gramophone Awards earlier this month, the French tenor discusses his winning recording of Fauré's complete songs with Tristan Raës - and shares some insights into Jouissons de nos beaux ans!, released in September on Aparté.

The French tenor, Cyrille Dubois, returns to his favourite period in music: Baroque. Pursuing his mission as a trailblazer, he has teamed up with the Hungarian conductor György Vashegyi and the Centre de musique baroque de Versailles to create a recital aimed at reviving little-known treasures of the Eighteenth Century French operatic repertoire - several of the pieces are recorded here for the first time.

Focussing on haute-contre roles - the haute-contre voice being the ancestor of the leggero tenor, or ténor léger - the programme includes some fine excerpts from operas by Rameau, together with some equally beautiful arias and choruses by composers such as Dauvergne and Mondonville, but also Iso, Royer, Berton, and others.

Cyrille Dubois is magnificent as Tarsis (in Tarsis et Zélie by Francoeur and Rebel), flamboyant as Agénor (in Les Caractères de la Folie by Bernard de Bury) and extremely moving as Céphale (in L’Aurore et Céphale by Francoeur).

This recital provides a full picture of the Baroque hero - sometimes tender and amorous, sometimes fiery or triumphant - who receives here one of the finest interpretations.

Reviews

November 2023

a fascinating conspectus of works that open a wdnow onto the refined, pastoral, love-anguished sensibilities of the French operatic repertoire of the 18th century.

December 2023

An extraordinarily unifying ebb and flow is achieved by seamless connectivity between intelligently plotted dramatic moods and musical colours – an album of nearly 80 minutes seems like a large-scale divertissement.

International Classical Music Awards 2024

Dubois puts on the wig of the haute-contre of the Louis XV era for all these arias with the greatest ease. His voice is as supple and ductile as ever, and he makes short work of the most dangerous vocal acrobatics in the upper register. The Orfeo Orchestra and the Purcell Choir conducted by György Vashegyi are also excellent. They give this Baroque anthology an energy to make the whole programme dance.
