Founded in 1961 by Michel Corboz, the Ensemble Vocal de Lausanne (EVL) is made up of a core group of professionals joined by top quality choristers and young trainee singers, depending on the pieces. It has a wide repertoire ranging from the beginnings of the baroque period up to the 21st century. Since 2015, Daniel Reuss has been the artistic director. His many recordings (with the Erato, Cascavelle, Aria Music, Avex and Mirare labels) have given him an international reputation. Some thirty albums have received awards, including Mozart’s Requiem (Choc du Monde de la Musique 1999), Fauré’s Requiem (Choc du Monde de la Musique 2007) and Gounod’s Requiem (Choc de Classica 2011). His last opus, Le Roi David by Honegger (1921 version), recorded in Geneva with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande and conducted by Daniel Reuss, was released in 2017. Nominated for the prestigious Edison Klassik prize, it is the EVL’s 115th recording.
