Valentin Tournet is a French conductor, harpsichordist, and founder of the ensemble La Chapelle Harmonique, known for his fresh, vibrant takes on Baroque and early music. A passionate advocate for historically informed performance, he studied harpsichord and organ under masters like Olivier Baumont and Michel Bouvard before launching his ensemble in 2016. Tournet’s dynamic approach shines in projects like Rameau’s *Platée* and *Les Indes Galantes*, where he balances scholarly rigor with theatrical flair. His recent recordings—from Bach’s *Magnificat* to rare gems like Colin de Blamont’s *Les Fêtes grecques et romaines*—showcase his knack for reviving lesser-known works alongside iconic repertoire. Whether leading live performances (like the charming *Les fables de La Fontaine*) or crafting studio recordings, Tournet infuses centuries-old music with energy that feels both authentic and thrillingly alive.
