About This Song
About "Proserpine, LWV 58, Prologue: Soupirez, triste Paix, malheureuse captive (La Discorde et sa suite, La Paix et sa suite)" by Christophe Rousset
'Soupirez, triste Paix' is a lament of exquisite tension. La Discorde and La Paix entwine in Rousset's reading, the sighing lines of a captive Peace contrasting with dissonant unease. Baroque melancholy becomes a political weapon, beauty tinged with coercion.
