Le Concert Spirituel, a French musical ensemble founded in 1987, specializes in the performance of baroque music on period instruments. The group began its recording career with André Campra's Vol. 3 Messe et Motets (1992) and Charpentier's Messe Des Morts ⢠Litanies (1994), establishing a reputation for historically informed performance. In the 2000s, the ensemble expanded its catalogue, releasing Lully's Grands Motets Vol. 3 (2000), Haendel's Water Music & Fireworks Music (2003), and Purcell's King Arthur (2004), and collaborating with labels such as Harmonia Mundi. The 2010s saw further milestones with Rameau's Les Fêtes de l'Hymen et de l'Amour (2014) and Berlioz's Messe solennelle (2019), along with appearances at major European festivals. Le Concert Spirituel received the Liliane Bettencourt Prize for Choral Singing in 2020. The ensemble was also supported by the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation.
