The work of the ensemble Les Surprises is rooted in musicological and historical research. Their founder, Louis-Noël Bestion de Camboulas, is devoted to finding and showcasing scores which haven't made it out of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France since the 18th century. Les Surprises have also contributed to the development of the contemporary repertoire for ancient instruments, taking on work from composers; and they work to expand the audience for Baroque music. This is a recording of a widely-admired concert given in 2015 at the Ambronay Festival, of which the Les Surprises ensemble is a partner. This new and very successful album sounds the depths of the mysteries of 17th century Germany, diving into the austere and strange music of Buxtehude, Bruhns and Bernhard with a few instrumental pieces by Pachelbel, Scheidemann and Reincken to cast a little light into the perplexing caverns into which Louis-Noël Bestion de Camboulas orders his players from his harpsichord. The smooth timbres of the voices of Maïlys de Villoutreys, soprano, and Etienne Bazola, baritone, match the instrumental beauty of Les Surprises and give this record an entrancing character, which leads one to reflect on the human journey. © François Hudry/Qobuz
