Info for Bomba Flamenca

Simon-Pierre Bestion immerses us in the world of Charles V and a Spain marked by Arab-Andalusian culture. From 1515 onwards, Spain also welcomed musicians and singers from Flanders: this Capilla flamenca had an explosive effect on Spanish music during the Renaissance, according to Bestion. He has composed an imaginary Requiem for the death of Charles V, using compositions actually intended for this service, such as Pedro de Escobar's Missa pro defunctis and Cristobal de Morales' Missa Mille regretz, based on the emperor's favourite song. As usual, the founding conductor of La Tempête takes a few liberties and breathes life into these works by arranging them with variations in timbre, tempo and expression: ‘I chose to make extensive use of percussion and certain very distinctive instruments such as the shawm and sackbuts, which perfectly match the spirit of outdoor processions, such as those in the gardens of the Alhambra.’

Among his teachers were Louis Robilliard, Jan Willem Jansen, Michel Bourcier, Nicolas Brochot, François Espinasse, Yves Rechsteiner, Olivier Baumont and Blandine Rannou. He has won prizes at several international organ competitions: the Grand Prix d’Orgue Jean-Louis Florentz of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, First Prize by unanimous decision of the judges at the Gottfried Silbermann Organ Competition in Freiberg (Germany), Second Prize at the Saint-Maurice Competition (Switzerland) and First Prize at the prestigious Xavier Darasse Competition in Toulouse. In 2013 he received the title of Young Echo Organist of the Year.

Louis-Noël Bestion de Camboulas has given organ recitals in France – Paris (church of La Madeleine, Auditorium de Radio France), Toulouse (Festival Toulouse les Orgues) – and elsewhere in Europe, including Germany (Berlin Cathedral), the Netherlands (Alkmaar), Switzerland, Italy and Monaco (International Organ Festival). He has also worked with such conductors as Hervé Niquet, Arie Van Beek and Roberto Forés Veses. His research on the composers François Rebel and François Francœur was recognised by the award of the Déclics Jeunes scholarship of the Fondation de France.

Louis-Noël Bestion de Camboulas is also director of Les Surprises, an ensemble specialising in the vocal and instrumental repertory of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, with which he has already appeared in several European countries, Canada and Palestine.

He is currently completing his residency at the Fondation Royaumont as organist of the Abbey’s Cavaillé-Coll instrument.
