Description:

A collection of Clérambault's cantatas sung by Mechelen, a well-known baroque tenor on the ALPHA label. Clérambault was one of the leading composers of the French Baroque heyday, and while working as an organist, he established the genre of the "French cantata" and became a master in this field. In this album, the promising young Mechelen, who was selected as "Artist of the Year" by the Belgian newspaper "Caesilia Prix" in 2017, leads his own ensemble "A Nocte Tempolis" and sings technical and expressive cantatas in every direction.
