Le Cercle de l’Harmonie

“What really marked this performance out as something special was the way it caught the music’s grandeur and minatory force. The hallmark was clarity combined with spacious tempi, so we could feel Mozart’s grinding harmonic clashes impacting on our nerves as well as our ears. All in all a marvel.”  (The Telegraph, June 2011)

"At the head of the Le Cercle de l'Harmonie, Jérémie Rhorer gives of Grétry a scintillating image of vivacity, nerve and charm. By its precision and its colours, this young group has established itself as one of the leading interpreters of repertoire of the 18th Century." (Opéra Magazine, January 2010)

"He is not indifferent to the splendour of this disc that Philippe Jaroussky has chosen for Le Cercle de l'Harmonie, a group playing on original period instruments and among which the founder and conductor, Jérémie Rhorer is undoubtedly the best mozartien of the moment, along with René Jacobs." (Libération, December 2009)

“Sentimi non partir et Ebben si vada; how can you not succomb to the force of the recitative which introduces the first of them, the melody to which the violins, flutes, clarinets and piano offer a sumptuos case, or, in the second, the singing of the oboe? Throughout this, Jaroussky is at his best. What to others would be only prowess becomes pure enchantment. Le Cercle de l'Harmonie, Jérémie Rhorer and Julien Chauvin, one in control, and the other first violin, accompanies it, vibrant, warm, youthful, in its rehabilitation of a master which, between Handel and Mozart, deserves its place in first rank."
