Les Arts Florissants, one of the world's most renowned Baroque ensembles, reunites with legendary founder and artistic director William Christie for a groundbreaking release: the first complete recording of Andre Campra's "Requiem" in combination with his deeply moving "Miserere". These works, full of clarity, grace and emotional power, offer a deeply personal and spiritual listening experience. Campra's music speaks directly to the soul, with subtle, expressive and timeless harmonies.
Recorded on historical instruments in original French tuning and by an authentic ensemble, this recording is a masterpiece of historically informed performance practice that remains faithful to Campra and his time and is vividly realized by musicians at the peak of their abilities. With their unmistakably rich and nuanced sound, Les Arts Florissants imbue every phrase with the elegance of French musical heritage, even in Latin texts characterized by the unique French pronunciation of that time. This is more than a recording, it is the rediscovery of one of the most refined voices in sacred music. The Baroque music ensemble Les Arts Florissants was founded in 1979 and consists of an instrumental ensemble and a small vocal ensemble. It has an impressive discography of approximately 100 works and is one of the best-known ensembles in the world.
