With over a million copies sold, the soundtrack to Gérard Corbiau’s film Farinelli established the international reputation of Les Talens Lyriques with a CD that was awarded the Disque d’Or.
In 1994, in order to reinvent the voice of Carlo Broschi, known as Farinelli (1705-1782), a computer was used to mix the timbres of Derek Lee Ragin, countertenor, and Ewa Mallas-Godlewska, soprano.
