Genre

Classical

Viola da gamba player and conductor Philippe Pierlot (not to be confused with the flutist of the same name, especially inasmuch as the gambist has also performed on flute recordings) is one of his country's leading specialists in historically informed performance. Best known as the leader of the Ricercar Consort, he is also a noted educator. Pierlot revived the opera Sémélé by Marin Marais, giving the work its first performance in three centuries. With Ricercar as both director and gambist, Pierlot has released more than 40 recordings, including the album Buxtehude: Salvator Mundi, in 2023.
