LOUIS-NICOLAS CLÉRAMBAULT

Reinhard Goebel was one of the pioneers of the re-discovery of performance on period instruments and focused on re-discovering the music of under-performed 17th and 18th century composers. We look forward to Goebel’s coming 70th birthday (July 29) with a pre-release track from Louis-Nicolas Clérambault, a French contemporary of Bach. Listen to the upbeat aria “Chantez la victoire” for soprano with small chamber ensemble led by Goebel on the violin from Clérambault’s Cantata ‘Orphée’.

Listen to the first pre-release track ‘Clérambault: Orphée: Récitatif: “Pluton surpris” – Air: “Chantez la victoire”’ via the streaming tab above.
