Baptiste Romain

Baptiste Romain is a French musician and scholar who brings medieval and Renaissance music to life with a focus on historical string instruments like the vielle and rebec. Known for his deep dive into early music traditions, he bridges performance and academic research, often collaborating with ensembles like *Le Miroir de Musique* and *Discantus* to resurrect forgotten sounds. His recordings, such as *In seculum viellatoris: The Medieval Vielle* and *The Birth of the Violin*, showcase his knack for unraveling the evolution of stringed instruments and their role in medieval soundscapes.

Romain’s recent releases, like *Antoine Gosswin: Selected Works* and *Tinctoris: Secret Consolations*, highlight his commitment to reviving obscure Renaissance composers while blending technical precision with expressive flair. Whether interpreting 15th-century polyphony or exploring the gritty textures of early dance tunes, his work feels both scholarly and vibrantly human—a reminder that centuries-old music can still spark joy. Casual listeners and early music nerds alike dig his approachable yet authentic style.
