This week the Edison Foundation announced their nominations, and in the category “Het Debuut” (The Debut), Théotime Langlois de Swarte’s recording ‘The Mad Lover’ has been nominated for an Edison Klassiek 2021.

Released on the 20th November 2020 on the Harmonia Mundi label, the album has been highly praised by many in the industry. Violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte is joined by skillful lutist, Thomas Dunford, and the Edison Klassiek jury described the album as what falling in love sounds like: seductive and virtuoso, sensual and sexy, but also capricious and melancholic.

The Mad Lover nous offre une quintessence de virtuosité, de sérénité, de sensibilité et d’exubérance à la fois, au travers de pièces judicieusement choisies pour leur cohérence entre elles (…) Assurément, du grand art !

"The Mad Lover" ist seine erste Solo-CD. Mit dem Lautenisten Thomas Dunford verbindet ihn langjähriges gemeinsames Forschen und Improvisieren. Das Ergebnis ist geglückt!

What’s more, France’s rising generation has some promising names. Topping that list for me is Le Consort founding violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte, whose recent The Mad Lover debut solo album for harmonia mundi was a stunner by any standard.
