Paul Agnew is a British tenor and conductor celebrated for his deep dive into early music, particularly the Baroque and Renaissance eras. Known for his clear, expressive vocals and scholarly approach, he’s become a key figure in bringing centuries-old compositions to life for modern audiences. Agnew has long been associated with the legendary ensemble Les Arts Florissants, initially as a standout soloist under founder William Christie, and later stepping into co-directorship roles. His recent projects, like the ongoing *J.S. Bach: A Life in Music* series and explorations of Gesualdo’s haunting madrigals, showcase his knack for blending historical precision with emotional intensity. Whether leading choral masterpieces by Schütz or Vivaldi’s vibrant sacred works, Agnew balances the rigor of a musicologist with the flair of a performer who truly loves the stories behind the notes.
