Les Passions De L'Ame

Swiss Baroque Ensemble

Les Passions de l'Âme is a Swiss Baroque orchestra founded in 2008 by violinist Meret Lüthi with the aim of performing music from the 17th and 18th centuries using historical performance practices. The ensemble is known for its energetic and precise interpretations, often exploring lesser-known repertoire alongside more familiar works. They have gained recognition for their recordings, which include albums such as "Schabernack - A Treasure Trove of Musical Jokes," showcasing their penchant for pieces with humor and wit, and "Divina," which may reflect their interest in the divine or spiritual aspects of Baroque music. Les Passions de l'Âme has established itself as a prominent group within the early music scene, contributing to the revival and appreciation of Baroque music through both live performances and recorded works.
