Ensemble Leviathan

The Mad Virgin

The Leviathan ensemble continues its exploration of English music through the fascinating figure of Anne Bracegirdle, star actress of late 17th-century London. Muse to composer John Eccles, the disc recounts this flamboyant, sensual and unreasonable woman through "Mad Songs" interpreted by the brilliant soprano Eugenie Lefebvre, with director Lucile Tessier.
