Résumé : Avec ce premier enregistrement pour Harmonia Mundi, Bertrand Cuiller et les musiciens du Caravansérail nous plongent dans l'univers onirique du théâtre londonien du XVIIe siècle. Musiques de scène, airs, danses et mélodies inventives associant tradition anglaise et innovations françaises et italiennes composent les cinq tableaux imaginaires de cette restitution, illuminée par la voix d'une guest star de choix : la soprano Rachel Redmond. .
