All the Pleasures
All the Pleasures is a concert, installation and album inspired by several songs by 17th-century English composer Henry Purcell, in which themes of night, sensuality and lust are recontextualised through a nocturnal melange of voices, cello and electronics.
The collaboration between multimedia artist-singer Robin Coops and cellist-producer René van Munster began during the 2020 pandemic, inspired by the timelessness of Purcell’s sensual lyrics. They exchanged ideas and sent recordings back and forth. All the Pleasures transcends the boundaries of genre and shows that Purcell’s lyrics belong just as much at home in a 17th-century opera as in a contemporary club setting. The concert is performed in a hypnotic, immersive setting.
