Molière and Charpentier
After his rift with Lully, Molière turned to Marc-Antoine Charpentier for the incidental music for his last productions, including Le Malade imaginaire and Le Mariage forcé.
Following his very public rift with long-term contributor Jean-Baptiste Lully, Molière turned to Marc-Antoine Charpentier to provide the incidental music for his last theatrical productions.
As part of Radio 3's celebration of Molière's quatercentenary, Lucie Skeaping explores the music Charpentier composed for Molière's final theatre pieces, including the plays Le Malade imaginaire and Le Mariage forcé.
This programme includes brand new recordings by Radio 3's recently inaugurated New Generation Baroque Ensemble - the aptly named Ensemble Molière.
