Chorus Of Les Musiciens Du Louvre

The Chorus of Les Musiciens Du Louvre is an integral part of the Les Musiciens Du Louvre ensemble, which stands out as one of the foremost groups specializing in the performance of Baroque music on period instruments. Founded in 1982 by the renowned conductor Marc Minkowski, the ensemble, along with its chorus, has been instrumental in reviving seventeenth and eighteenth-century operatic and sacred music, introducing audiences to the authentic sounds of the period. Their dedication to historical accuracy in performance, combined with a vibrant and engaging presentation style, has garnered them international acclaim and a dedicated following.

The chorus, meticulously trained to deliver the nuanced and richly textured choral works of the Baroque era, has been featured in many of the ensemble's ambitious projects and recordings. Recent highlights in their discography include a compelling rendition of Jean-Philippe Rameau's tragédie en musique, "Dardanus," which showcases the dramatic potential and emotional depth of Baroque vocal music. They also recorded "Handel: Dixit Dominus; Salve Regina; Laudate Pueri; Saeviat Tellus,” contributing to a deeper appreciation of Handel's sacred compositions. Additionally, their powerful performances of Marc-Antoine Charpentier's works, including the celebrated "Te Deum," the vibrant "Messe de Minuit," and the evocative "Nuit," further exemplify their skill in bringing Baroque choral literature to contemporary audiences with renewed vitality and scholarly insight.
