GRAMOPHONE EDITOR'S CHOICE



'A lovely conceit, mourning the death of Poland’s Princess Christine Eberhardine, governs this programme. It gives an interesting focus to a disc filled with performances of character and fluency. Pierlot is one of today’s more thoughtful Bach interpreters and his Ricercar Consort respond with ever more intensity.'

(Gramophone)



In 1985, the Ricercar Consort made their first tour with J.S. Bach’s« Musicalisches Opfer », and is rapidly internationally known for it’s interpretation of cantatas and instrumental music of the German Baroque. For the last few years, Philippe Pierlot has been directing the ensemble, alterning chamber music and important productions. Actually their recordings on the french label MIRARE encounter enthousiastic reactions both by the public or international press.
