Dominique Visse

Dominique Visse began his singing career at the age of 11 as a chorister in the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. At the same time he began studying the organ and flute at the Versailles Conservatory.

Already passionate about Renaissance and Mediaeval music, in 1976 he met the grand pioneer of the countertenor voice, Alfred Deller, and became his pupil. He also worked with Nigel Rogers, René Jacobs and William Christie.

In 1978 Dominique Visse founded the Ensemble Clément Janequin with whom he has made a series of benchmark recordings of French polyphonic chansons of the 16th Century. The following year he became one of the founding members of Les Arts Florissants and edited much of the ensemble's repertoire in its early years.

Dominique Visse's most recent opera performances include Handel's Agrippina with Jean-Claude Malgoire in March 2005, a new production of Cavalli's La Calisto in Munich in May 2005, Sartori's Don Quichotte with René Jacobs in Innsbruck in August 2005, and revivals of Monteverdi's operas in Munich in 2005 and 2006.
