This disc presents excerpts of the first book of the "Amours" of Pierre de Ronsard, subtitled "Amours de Cassandre," set to music by Anthoine de Bertrand (1540?-1581?). Ronsard is the central poet of the French Renaissance. His main characteristics are to have a very rich language and to use a lot of images to illustrate his ideas. His works were used by a great variety of composers. The realization made by de Bertrand is one of the most achieved, in the art of underlying the text and its ideas with music. One perfect example is the last track of this disc, beginning slowly and softly (word "doux" - soft), and ending with waves of sounds and rhythms (words "Montagnes and plaines" - mountains and plains). Always the music respects the scansion of the text, thanks to a great variety of rhythms and tempi.
