Les Talens Lyriques

Les Talens Lyriques has long excelled in taking repertoire known and unknown and breathing vivid life into it, making music from the Baroque and beyond as thrilling as it would have been for its first audiences. Founder Christophe Rousset's ever-questing musical mind has brought us exceptional recordings of works as varied as Bertin's Fausto (a discovery for most, and an Editor's Choice in February) and Lully's Thésée (12/23), emphasising his expertise as a conductor who unfailingly gets the very best from instrumentalists and singers alike.
