About Hervé Niquet & Le Concert Spirituel
Like most composers of baroque music whose works he cherishes, Hervé Niquet is an accomplished musician. He studied harpsichord, organ, lyrical music and ensemble direction. The experience gathered with major baroque ensembles allowed him to develop a special bond with the French “Grand Motet” of the 17th and 18th centuries. His desire to revive this widely unknown repertoire resulted in his founding of Le Concert Spirituel in 1987.
As one of the leading performers of baroque music, Le Concert Spirituel plays the most prestigious venues in France and regularly appears at major Early Music festivals in Europe and the USA. As ensemble associated with the Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles, Le Concert Spirituel is frequently invited to the Chapelle Royale and the Opéra Royal du Château de Versailles.
Le Concert Spirituel’s recordings provide a good overview of the main works the ensemble has already performed both in France and abroad: sacred and profane music by Charpentier, Gilles, Campra, Boismortier, Purcell, Geoffroy, etc. The group’s ample discography has received numerous distinctions from the international music press. Since 2000, Le Concert Spirituel and Hervé Niquet record exclusively for Glossa.
