La Tempête, Simon-Pierre Bestion

The conductor who blows “a breath of madness into sacred music” (Le Monde) takes an unconventional path, moving between multidisciplinary concerts and blending different eras. He offers a sensitive exploration of the Germanic funeral tradition – one that is profoundly human – by placing Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem in the wake of his predecessors Schütz and Bach. Between ancient echoes and Romantic impulses, the works engage in dialogue, carried by the vocal and instrumental mastery of La Tempête: a vibrant, intimate and intense experience.
