In the Press

Répertoire, february 2001, André Guy
“Doulce Mémoire is truly the right name for this group. Its remarkable musicological sleuthing, combined with the reliably contextual reconstitutions to which it is committed, account for “mémoire”. And “doulce” has never characterised their performances so well. The album overflows with full, round, warm, colourful, juicy and flexible sounds.”

Classica, november 2000, Stéphan Perreau
“Denis Raisin Dadre, incontestably the best performer of this repertoire, has once again made a benchmark recording. He easily moves between the two styles of the period, giving the listener a lesson in optimism and joy.”
