Les Paladins

Les Paladins is a vocal and instrumental baroque orchestra founded and directed by Jérôme Correas. Ever since 2001, Jérôme Correas and Les Paladins have explored the dramatic music of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, from Monteverdi to Mozart.
Jérôme Correas, who trained as both singer and harpsichordist, has developed an innovative artistic approach based on the theatricality of the voice and the relationship between music and the performing arts. He favours an interpretative approach not only based on the score but also on the search of expressive and theatrical freedoms related to the language and its rhythms, as well as a deep work on the rubato, on the improvisation, both in the lyrical and religious repertoires.
Les Paladins have recorded a dozen albums. Following Cavalli's L'Ormindo (Pan Classics) and Le triomphe de l'amour (Naive), Enchantresses (released in January 2022 by Alpha Classics) is the fourth album of their privileged collaboration with soprano Sandrine Piau. In September 2022, Tempesta di Mare will be released, a live album recorded by B Records around Antonio Vivaldi's Concerto da Camera. The concert Exsultate, Jubilate! with Karine Deshayes will be recorded in October 2022 with the label Aparté (release in 2023).
