It is a performance of 17th century Italian music determined by the conductor, Jean Tubéry (as cited in the Virgin Classics web page listed in the "References" section), to have been influential in French culture at the time of Cardinal Mazarin, a 17th century chief minister of France. The music is performed by the countertenor Philippe Jaroussky, along with the instrumentalists of Ensemble La Fenice.

Famous quotes containing the words concert and/or pour:
“Proportion ... You can’t help thinking about it in these London streets, where it doesn’t exist.... It’s like listening to a symphony of cats to walk along them. Senseless discords and a horrible disorder all the way.... A concert of Brobdingnagian cats. Order has been turned into a disgusting chaos. We need no barbarians from outside; they’re on the premises, all the time.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“What is Americanism? Every one has a different answer. Some people say it is never to submit to the dictation of a King. Others say Americanism is the pride of liberty and the defence of an insult to the flag with their gore. When some half-developed person tramples on that flag, we should be ready to pour out the blood of the nation, they say. But do we not sit in silence when that flag waves over living conditions which should be an insult to all patriotism?”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
