Geoffroy Jourdain is a French conductor, vocalist, and early music specialist known for his dynamic approach to Renaissance, Baroque, and contemporary repertoire. As the founder and artistic director of the ensemble Les Cris de Paris, he’s carved out a niche for blending historically informed performances with theatrical flair, breathing fresh life into works by composers like Gesualdo, Schütz, and Vivaldi (all featured in his recent releases). His projects often explore emotional extremes—think Gesualdo’s haunting madrigals or Schütz’s lush sacred psalms—while also championing modern innovators like Luciano Berio. With albums like *Melancholia* and *Passions*, Jourdain leans into themes of drama and introspection, proving that centuries-old music can still feel urgent and visceral. Whether unraveling Venetian orphans’ tales in Vivaldi or reimagining vocal experiments in *Berio To Sing*, he’s all about bridging eras with curiosity and punch.
