"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.
