About
Drawing on the German vocal and instrumental repertory of the 17th century, Itay Jedlin and his Concert Etranger embody the dialogue, at once intimate and grandiose, between God and the soul of the believer. A profound programme that reveals the full beauty of the unfairly neglected works of Andreas Hammerschmidt. Created by Itay Jedlin in 2006, Le Concert Etranger brings together young musicians from backgrounds as diverse as Paris, Athens, Montreal, Havana, Tokyo and Jerusalem, sharing the same passion of a faithful interpretation of Baroque music, supported by musicological and artistic research.
In 2014 the Ambronay Festival invited ensemble to give the 'St. John Passion' by JS Bach, followed in 2015 by a reconstruction of his 'Passion According to St. Mark'. Both concerts were broadcast live by France Télévisions.

Awards and reviews
March 2016
Le Concert Étranger presents itself here as a very fine ensemble which has a really good feeling for this repertoire … This is not just another disc with German 17th-century music; we have here a production which is an essential addition to the discography. I hope to hear more from this ensemble. A disc entirely devoted to Hammerschmidt would be very welcome
Early Music Today March/May 2016
It’s an impressive debut .. featuring some highly assured instrumental playing, and some excellent solo and one-voice per part…ensemble singing … Aided by exemplary sound, all the music is indeed vividly projected.
