Un Concert pour Mazarin is the title of a music recording released on compact disc in early 2004 by Virgin Classics. It is a performance of 17th century Italian music determined by the conductor, Jean Tubéry (as cited in the Virgin Classics web page listed in the "References" section), to have been influential in French culture at the time of Cardinal Mazarin, a 17th century chief minister of France. The music is performed by the countertenor Philippe Jaroussky, along with the instrumentalists of Ensemble La Fenice.

Famous quotes containing the words concert and/or pour:
“Man is head, chest and stomach. Each of these animals operates, more often than not, individually. I eat, I feel, I even, although rarely, think.... This jungle crawls and teems, is hungry, roars, gets angry, devours itself, and its cacophonic concert does not even stop when you are asleep.”
—René Daumal (1908–1944)
“No poet could write again,
“the red-lily,
a girl’s laugh caught in a kiss;”
it was his to pour in the vat
from which all poets dip and quaff,
for poets are brothers in this.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
