Info for The Experts: The Bach & Silbermann Dynasties

Two dynasties in friendly competition The musical legacy of the Bach family is inseparably linked to the progress in instrument making of the time, which was dominated by the Silbermann family. Offering a fascinating comparison between the two dynasties – composers vs. organ builders and fortepiano makers – for this recording, Louis-Noël Bestion de Camboulas and Les Surprises used superb copies of Silbermann instruments, but also a magnificent original: the famous Silbermann organ at the Cathedral of St. Mary in Freiberg, Saxony.

Louis-Noël Bestion de Camboulas
Born in 1989, Louis-Noël Bestion de Camboulas studied the organ, the harpsichord, chamber music and conducting at the Paris and Lyon Conservatoires (CNSMD). Among his teachers were Louis Robilliard, Willem Jansen, Michel Bourcier, Nicolas Brochot, François Espinasse, Yves Rechsteiner, Olivier Baumont and Blandine Rannou.

In 2009 he won the Grand Prix d’Orgue Jean-Louis Florentz of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, followed in September 2011 by the First Prize by unanimous decision of the judges at the Gottfried Silbermann Organ Competition in Freiberg (Germany) and in 2015 by Second Prize at the Saint- Maurice Competition (Switzerland). In 2013 he received First Prize at the prestigious Xavier Darasse Competition in Toulouse.

Louis-Noël has appeared as a soloist or with chorus and orchestra all over Europe, notably in Paris (the Madeleine), at the festivals of La Chaise-Dieu, Toulouse les Orgues and Monaco, and in Germany, Switzerland and Italy.

He is the joint founder of the ensemble Les Surprises, which he has directed since 2010. With this group specialising in the vocal and instrumental repertory of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries he has recorded two discs for Ambronay Éditions that were acclaimed by the French and international press, and were awarded the ‘Diamant Opéra-Magazine’ and ‘5 de Diapason’. He has already conducted the ensemble in France, Belgium, Germany, Italy and Palestine.

He has also worked with such conductors as Hervé Niquet, Arie Van Beek and Roberto Forés Veses. In 2013 he conducted the modern premiere of the opera Le Ballet de la Paix by Rebel and Francœur. His research work on these two composers was recognised in 2013 with the award of the Déclics Jeunes scholarship of the Fondation de France.

Louis-Noël Bestion de Camboulas is artist in residence at the Fondation Royaumont as organist of the Abbey’s Cavaillé-Coll organ.
