Philippe Cantor

Philippe Cantor is a French baritone known for his nuanced interpretations of French mélodie (art song) and Baroque vocal music. He has recorded extensively, focusing on the works of composers like Debussy, Ravel, Poulenc, and Cras, often exploring the connections between poetry and music. His discography also includes forays into earlier repertoire, including works by Purcell and Merula. Cantor's recordings often feature collaborations with pianists and other instrumentalists, showcasing his commitment to chamber music performance.

Beyond his core repertoire, Cantor has also explored lesser-known French vocal works, as evidenced by albums like "Lamartine mis en musique par ses contemporains" and "Amour et Regrets - Byron en Musique." These projects reveal his dedication to unearthing and sharing forgotten musical gems with a wider audience. His recent remastered version of Purcell's "Dido and Aeneas" demonstrates his ongoing engagement with a diverse range of musical styles and periods.
