Dominique Visse is without any question a blessed countertenor. Not only does he reach for the stars with his voice, but he´s a fascinating actor at the same time. In the comic cantata La Matrone d'Ephèse he loves to sing all five roles at the same time. If you listen with your eyes closed you would think there are many more singers on stage. You also immediately understand why composer Nicolas Racot de Grandval called many of his stage works „tragedies for laughing“. This cantata is only one of the many comical perls of early 18th century France that can be discovered during this performance.
