About This Song
About "Proserpine, LWV 58, Act II Scene 3: Amants qui n’êtes point jaloux (Alphée)" by Christophe Rousset
Alphée’s solo—'Amants qui n’êtes point jaloux'—is a study in restrained longing. Rousset teases out the ache beneath the courtly surface, the continuo pulsing like a held breath. It’s a calm declaration that trembles with unspoken jealousy, a lover’s composure stretched to its breaking point.
