About

The Soloists of the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela invited Bruno Procopio to conduct a programme dedicated entirely to Jean-Philippe Rameau. Discovering French Baroque music was an astonishing adventure for the Venezuelan musicians, and it marks their first foray into 18th century French classical music.

Discovering French Baroque music was a new departure for the Venezuelan musicians who responded with characteristic enthusiasm and verve to this dance-related suite, albeit working as a smaller group than usual.

"You won’t believe your ears. This miracle comes all the way from Venezuela. The firmness of phrasing, the mastery of ornamentation, the sparing use of vibrato, the perfection of balance, the lilt of the minuets, the whirligig of the passepieds, the naturalness of the style… Zoroastre is a miracle... No French orchestra is capable of matching even half of what’s accomplished by this miracle from Venezuela." - Diapason

"The result is sumptuous, magical. It’s a real bombshell. It’s not difficult to predict Bruno Procopio's future: resplendent with all the multicoloured richness of “diversity” - L'Est Républicain
