A Nocte Temporis

A Nocte Temporis is a vibrant early music ensemble led by Belgian countertenor Reinoud Van Mechelen, specializing in reviving Baroque and Classical gems with historically informed flair. Known for dusting off forgotten works and breathing new life into them, the group shines a spotlight on composers like Charpentier, Rameau, and Mozart while celebrating the unique *haute-contre* vocal tradition of 17th- and 18th-century France. Their releases often feel like musical archaeology digs – whether resurrecting Elisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre’s opera *Céphale et Procris* or spotlighting star singers of Versailles like Legros and Dumesny, they blend scholarly rigor with passionate storytelling. With Van Mechelen’s crystalline vocals at the helm, the ensemble paints lush soundscapes that’ll make you swear you’ve time-traveled to a royal court – minus the powdered wigs.
