"Recommended: Now, on the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci, Denis Raisin Dadre, with his ensemble Doulce Mémoire, has put together a sensitive, perceptive and beautiful album honouring Leonardo's art (grounded in his love of music) ... Raisin Dadre has concentrated his attention on just ten pictures, five of them in the Louvre ... To the skill and imagination of the members of Doulce Mémoire is added the scholarship and sensitive insight of Denis Raisin Dadre and the result is breathtakingly beautiful and thought-provoking ... Some of Raisin Dadre's musical choices are mildly unexpected but illuminating ... [and] match very well the specified images by Leonardo ... This is a major release ... A must-hear (and, indeed, a must-see!) album".

"So frisch wie hier wird Renaissancemusik - sei sie nun weltlich oder geistlich - selten geboten. Die solistischen Stücke profitieren von der abwechslungsreichen Begleitung und der gänzlich unmanierierten Gestaltung vor allem durch die Sopranistin Clara Coutouly. Sehr gut durchhörbar präsentieren die durchaus individuell klingenden Sänger auch die Chorsätze, bei denen sie wunderbar intensive Ausdrucksnuancen finden, ohne je zu forcieren. Geradezu schwebend wirken auch die Instrumentalsätze - nicht zuletzt dank des intensiven Einsatzes der Lira da Braccio".

"This new album and book ... marks 500 years since the death of Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519). More than a thoughtful programme of music from half a millennium ago, this personal journey through the Louvre's Leonardo collection is the brainchild of director Denis Raisin Dadre, who has matched paintings to exact musical contemporaries ... The resulting performance ... are deliciously atmospheric. The matchmaking process itself is fascinating ... As the programme unfolds from deft basse danses to Marchetto Cara's sprightly 'Tante volte si si si' we hear an impressive and persuasive attempt to uncover Leonardo's subliminal music. The Mona Lisa is a high point".
