Campra Rameau Haim

Emmanuelle Haïm, a Baroque expert “with an instinct for the crucial balance between energy and eloquence” (New York Times), directs the orchestra and singers of her ensemble Le Concert d’Astrée in choral works by three French composers of the 18th century: Rameau, Campra and Mondonville. The programme, illustrating the transition from sorrow to joy and from darkness into light, was recorded in the splendid Chapelle Royale of the palace of Versailles. When Haïm, Le Concert d’Astrée and the soloists who appear on this recording performed all three works in Dijon, where Rameau was born, Forum Opéra – noting that Haïm’s conducting “excelled as much through its vigour as its poetry” – described “a concert from which one emerged with a profound sense of happiness”.

„Überragend in seiner Kraft und Poesie“, lobte das Magazin Forum Opéra Emmanuelle Haïms Dirigat. Die Barockspezialistin hat mit ihrem Concert dʼAstrée geistliche Vokalwerke dreier französischer Komponisten des 18. Jahrhunderts aufgeführt: Jean-Philippe Rameau, André Crampa und Jean-Joseph Cassanéa de Mondonville.

"A great conductor," Gramophone Magazine hailed the first album by Emmanuelle Haïm and Le Concert dʼAstrée back in 2002. In November 2021, the conductor now celebrated the 20th anniversary of her ensemble with two charity concerts in Berlin and Paris. The two anniversary concerts with excerpts from baroque operas by Handel, Rameau, Purcell, Vivaldi and Campra now appear as a live recording on the album "20 ans - Une nouvelle fête Baroque!"
