Emmanuelle Haïm, who has made her mark on the baroque scene for over twenty years with her ensemble Le Concert d'Astrée, transforms Rameau's score into a firework display. Under her direction (she conducts from the baton), the Orchestre La Scintilla sounds simply spellbinding on every level. *****

Handel Apollo e Dafne
Walt Disney Concert HallJan 2020…given a performance of spectacular musical vitality, one that mixed humor with outrage, one from a woman’s point of view, Haïm’s “Apollo e Dafne” took on a revelatory new aspect… Though conducting from the harpsichord, Haïm was mostly on her feet, in vivid contact with a small orchestra and bringing her unique combination of modern-day fire and voluptuousness to Handel.

Handel and Rameau with the Concertgebouw Orchestra
Concertgebouw AmsterdamApr 2024Amidst all these volcanic eruptions and melancholy, the musicians of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra maintain the sound and dynamic balance at all times. Thanks to the knowledge and experience of Emmanuelle Haïm and the vocal mastery of Lenneke Ruiten, it becomes a successful musical meeting of the Italian and French styles, which prove equally familiar not only to Handel but also to all the performers.
