Info zu Rameau: Le Grand Théâtre de l'amour

Sabine Devieilhe, the young French lyric-coloratura soprano, is a singer “whose upper register, like her virtuosity, appears limitless, while her verbal sense and dramatic engagement are breathtaking”. A prizewinner in the 2013 Victoires de la Musique Classique, France’s equivalent of the Grammys, she has recorded a ravishing programme of excerpts from operas by Rameau with conductor Alexis Kossenko and his ensemble Les Ambassadeurs.

„My connection with the music of Jean-Philippe Rameau dates back five years. I had just sung Aricie’s famous ‘Rossignols amoureux’ in a student concert at the conservatory when Alexis tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I would like to take part in a performance project involving the composer in whom he specialized. Alexis is well known as a flautist, a young conductor and musicologist and has done research which really brings to light the astonishing range of Rameau’s work. This program is conceived along the lines of a small-scale opera, giving me a broad range of colours to choose from and highly demanding instrumentation with which to work in the dramatic role of tearful lover. I can’t thank Alexis and Les Ambassadeurs enough for having seen the project through and for giving all their energy and musical creativity in the service of this recording.“ (Sabine Devieilhe)

A Member of several Ensembles like Pygmalion (cond. Raphaël Pichon) and Les Cris de Paris (cond. Geoffroy Jourdain), she performs a large repertory from ancient music to contemporary music. As a fervent of Lied and mélodie, she uses to perform recitals with Anne Le Bozec.
