About
A journey between literature and music: Don Quixote's sighs of love, the satirical humor of Gulliver's Travels or the strong passions of Lucretia and Dido. Teleman's immense sensitivity coupled with a playful irony, has brought together the young artists of Les Esprits Animaux. Baroque mind-blowing!
Les Esprits Animaux, a Netherlands-based baroque band, though only created in 2009, has already earned the acclaim of both music critics and audiences.
The Young Ensemble Series of Ambronay Editions, created in 2010, at the Centre culturel de rencontre d’Ambronay, are in turn part of the professional training and integration projects begun in 1993 with the European Baroque Academy.
Ambronay’s aim is to build a bridge between the conclusion of postgraduate studies and the start of a professional career which will also allow young musicians to affirm their artistic personality.

The highlight is the Burlesque de Quichotte, one of the most brilliantly imaginative of all Telemann suites...For their wit, verve and flair, and for those first two pieces especially, Les Esprits Animaux look like a group to watch.
January 2012
The two concertos fare well in the hands of these young musicians. The Concerto in E minor for treble recorder, flute and strings has many rivals in the catalogue and this one ranks among the most accomplished of them. The two slow movements are limpidly poised and the 'Polish' finale crisply articulated, commendably vivacious and, in a word, infectious....Apart from an occasional inclination to play to the gallery this is an excellent debut recording
