La mezzo-soprano Lea Desandre, formée auprès de William Christie et régulièrement nommée aux Victoires de la musique classique, dont elle a été lauréate en 2017, prête sa voix cristalline à trois siècles de chansons d’amour françaises entrecoupées de solos de luth par Thomas Dunford, qui font le lien entre les époques et les styles. Idylle réunit les œuvres de compositeurs inspirés, de Marc-Antoine Carpentier à Barbara en passant par Debussy et Offenbach, plongeant les auditeurs dans la tradition de la chanson française où l’amour est présenté dans tous ses états et sur tous les tons : triste, joyeux, langoureux ou facétieux…
