Founded in 2001 by tenor Benoît Haller, La Chapelle Rhénane is a musical ensemble of lyrical and instrumental soloists.
Its ambition is, through concerts and recordings, to reveal in these works the emotion, humanity and modernity that can seduce a wide contemporary audience.
Just like the great European courts during the Baroque period who recruited their musicians across the continent – and to a lesser extent like the composers who never ceased to travel to complete their training and gain new experiences - la Chapelle Rhénane benefits from the central location of Strasbourg, attracting musicians from all over Europe.
Source:[7] Six discs of la Chapelle Rhénane have been released under the label K617:[8] In addition to an album dedicated to the "Theatrum Musicum and Lessons of Darkness" by Samuel Capricornus, four were devoted to Heinrich Schütz: "Second Book of Symphoniæ Sacræ" in 2004, "Uppsala Magnificat and other sacred works" in 2006, "History of Resurrection & Musikalische Exequien" in 2007 and finally Psalmen Davids in 2012.
The disc received the "Orphée d'or" for best recording of sacred music by the Académie du Disque Lyrique.
