Campra: Requiem / Miserere

Les Arts Florissants, one of the world's most renowned Baroque ensembles, joins forces with its legendary founder and artistic director William Christie for a groundbreaking release: the first complete recording of André Campra's "Requiem", paired with his deeply moving "Miserere". These works, full of clarity, grace and emotional power, offer a deeply personal and spiritual listening experience. Campra speaks directly to the soul with his music, with subtle, expressive and timeless harmonies. Played on historical instruments in the original French tuning and by an authentic ensemble, this recording is a masterpiece of historically informed performance practice, remaining true to Campra and his time and brought to life by musicians at the peak of their artistry. With its unmistakably rich and nuanced sound, Les Arts Florissants imbues every phrase with the elegance of the French musical heritage, even in Latin texts, which are shaped by the unique French pronunciation of the 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 around 100 works and is one of the best-known ensembles in the world.
