With the album Amour fou, soprano Myriam Leblanc and Ensemble Mirabilia take us on a journey of love via arias and songs spanning more than 800 years.

From Faure's poetic Au bord de l'eau to Jacques Brel's heartrending Ne me quitte pas and Barbara's Dis quand reviendras-tu?, Leblanc has gathered a bouquet of music depicting the most human of all sentiments. Amour fou also includes an aria from Vivaldi's cantata Amor hai vento, several old English songs by Thomas Campion, along with other vocal and instrumental treasures.

With her 'resplendent vocal purity' (Le Devoir), Leblanc conveys a range of emotions that often accompany love, including turmoil, despair, and sweet sorrow. She evokes sensual love in songs whose eroticism is barely veiled by metaphors, as well as serene, contemplative love. Soprano Myriam Leblanc has garnered rave reviews for her performances. Music critic Christophe Huss declared, 'she is one of the most beautiful voices, perhaps the most beautiful, to have emerged from the Quebec talent pool in the last ten years' (Samedi et rien d'autre, ICI Premiere, RadioCanada).

She is joined on this recording by Ensemble Mirabilia (Gregoire Jeay, flutes; Antoine Malette-Chenier; harp; Melisande Corriveau, viola da gamba, pardessus de viole), an ensemble she founded and which promotes baroque music performed on period instruments, and also occasionally explores music from earlier or more recent times.
