Stephan MacLeod

**Stephan MacLeod** is a Swiss bass-baritone and conductor who’s become a standout figure in the world of Baroque and classical music. As the founder and artistic director of the ensemble Gli Angeli Genève, he’s celebrated for breathing fresh life into sacred works, particularly those of J.S. Bach. His recent releases—like the *Johannes-Passion* and *Matthäus-Passion*—showcase his deep connection to Bach’s choral masterpieces, while his recordings of bass cantatas (including the poignant *“Ich habe genug”*) highlight his rich, expressive voice. MacLeod doesn’t just stick to Bach, though—he’s also explored Mozart’s elegant flute concertos and dug into lesser-known gems like Antoine Reicha’s *Symphonies Concertantes*, proving his versatility across eras.

Whether he’s singing, conducting, or unearthing overlooked works like those of composer Johann Christoph Mohrheim, MacLeod brings a blend of scholarly care and emotional warmth to everything he touches. His approach to historically informed performance feels both authentic and inviting, making centuries-old music resonate with modern listeners. If you’re into Baroque brilliance or curious about classical deep cuts, Stephan MacLeod’s discography is a treasure trove waiting to be explored.
