Bernard Fabre-Garrus is a distinguished French conductor and musicologist, revered for his expertise in and devotion to early music, particularly from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. With a deep passion for unearthing the treasures of the past, Fabre-Garrus has extensively explored the works of composers such as Josquin Desprez, a central figure in his discography. He is the founder of the acclaimed ensemble A Sei Voci, a group that specializes in polyphonic choral music and with whom he has recorded a significant portion of Desprez's oeuvre, as reflected in their multiple volumes dedicated to the composer, including "Josquin Desprez, Vol. 1" and "Josquin Desprez, Vol. 2."

Across the span of his career, Fabre-Garrus has shown a remarkable ability to bring a sense of contemporaneity and vividness to music from centuries ago. His discography is emblematic of his scholarship and zeal for authenticity in performance, as seen in his recordings of lesser-known works such as "Bencini: Ave Maria, Missa de oliveria," and his commitment to live performance, as captured in "Fabri: Vesperae a quattuor choris (Live Recording)." His meticulous interpretations and the vibrant performances he elicits from his ensembles have contributed to the revival of interest in Renaissance and Baroque music, placing him among the notable figures in the field of early music.
