Les Musiciens du Louvre
Founded in
1982 by Marc MINKOWSKI, Les Musiciens du Louvre revives the Baroque, Classical
and Romantic repertoires on period instruments. Over the past forty
years, the orchestra has made a name by revisiting works by Handel, Purcell and
Rameau, as well as Haydn and Mozart, and more recently Bach and Schubert. He is
also renowned for his interpretation of nineteenth-century French music:
Berlioz, Bizet, Massenet, Offenbach.
Following a
rich anniversary season, whose highlights were a Handel-Gluck gala and the
Mozart-Da Ponte Trilogy at the Versailles Royal Opera House, but also
Offenbach's La Périchole in Paris and Mozart's Mitridate at
the Berlin Staatsoper, the 2023/2024 season will see Les Musiciens du Louvre
make their debut at Teatro alla Scala in Milan in a concert version of
Handel's Alcina, with Magdalena KOZENA in the title role. In the
Italian oratorio repertoire (Handel's La Resurrezione, in Aix-en-Provence
and Hamburg) and in Viennese operetta (Johan Strauss's La
Chauve-Souris at the Teatro Real in Madrid and at the Théâtre des
Champs-Elysées), Marc MINKOWSKI will bring together exceptional vocal casts,
giving a chance to young singers. Under his baton, the orchestra will
also present Handel's complete Concerti grossi op. 3 and an
exceptional recital with Marina VIOTTI at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées.
After 3
successive albums devoted to Mozart, with his Mass in C
minor (Pentatone, 2020), his 5 violin concertos with Christoph Koncz (Sony
Classical, 2020) and his early opera Mitridate (Warner Classics,
2021), followed by a Rameau anthology with the baritone Florian SEMPEY (Château
de Versailles Spectacles, 2022), the next album by Les Musiciens du Louvre will
be released on the Pentatone label in February 2024 (Alcina by Handel).
