Monteverdi - Rolando Villazón et Patrizia Ciofi - Emmanuelle Haïm et Le concert d'Astrée - 2008From St. Denis Cathedral
Intelligence, confidence and unflagging vitality – it is these qualities that have led Emmanuelle Haïm to advance to become one of the shooting stars of the early music scene. She is truly exceptional and works incredibly hard, whether as a harpsichordist, conductor, ensemble founder or mother, throwing herself into works by Monteverdi, Händel, Rameau and Purcell with spirit, skill and limitless passion. It’s not for nothing that she’s known by many as “Miss Dynamite”. Emmanuelle Haïm works closely and intensely with those who interest her and share her vision of breathing new life into early music. She is also able to inspire more and more people for early music in the process.
