The first half of the 17th century marks the golden age of the "air de cour" in France. These songs for solo voice, which generally spoke of love, were performed with lute accompaniment. The enthusiasm for these emotionally rich compositions soon spread to neighboring countries such as England, Germany, and Holland. Far from the beaten paths, mezzo-soprano Marie-Claude Chappuis and lutenist Luca Pianca revive in their program all the elegance and beauty of the music of princely courts. Compositions by Jean-Baptiste Lully, Étienne Moulinié, Michel Lambert, Gabriel Bataille, etc.
