Alexandra Lescure - Extase Baroque (2022) Hi-Res

In the intimacy of a magical historical medieval place, a moment out of time with the pearls of Baroque music and an exceptional pianist

After a first album devoted to classical masters, Alexandra Lescure now takes us into the mysteries of a baroque repertoire that she particularly likes. Articulated around seven sonatas by Dominico Scarlatti, poetic pearls between baroque and modernism, between harpsichord and piano, this new opus unfolds like a fan and a mirror, penetrating the rare and exuberant pieces for keyboard by Pancrace Royer, worthy heir of François Couperin who shares with him the taste for chiaroscuros passing from darkness to ecstasy clarity.
