The ensemble is truly a cream of the crop, and the inclusion of the beautiful soprano Duvier—whose magnificent voice graces the ERATO label—and Vivar, the ophicleide and serpent player from Les Siècles, is particularly reassuring. Amid the subtle nuances of period brass—ranging from natural instruments to the earliest piston-valved models—another highlight is the superb performance by Daniel Isoard, whose delicate fortepiano playing supports the singing without merely serving as period-appropriate accompaniment. The singers’ skillful interpretation, featuring a interplay of versatile and expressive voices, brings these works—many of which are by unknown composers—back to life with astonishing vitality. It is also surprising that they have even attempted to recreate the hand-cranked organ that once captivated passersby on street corners… This is a unique 19th-century music album that grows more captivating the more you listen to it—a feat made possible only by a thorough commitment to early music interpretation.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Muso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53374658576673,"sku":"4589538765514","price":2970.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538765514.jpg?v=1787632232","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538765514","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
