Erlebach: Lieder

Accompanied by his ensemble Le Banquet Céleste, the countertenor Damien Guillon places his voice at the service of a program of vocal pieces by the German Baroque composer Philipp Heinrich Erlebach, a large part of whose output was destroyed in a fire at Rudolstadt Castle in 1735. Among the works that have come down to us are the two collections Harmonische Freude musikalischer Freunde, containing respectively fifty and twenty-five arias for one to four solo voices, instrumental ensemble and basso continuo.
