Myriam Leblanc & Mirabilia Ensemble

Bach wrote his vocal arias with such exacting standards that even his own performers sometimes struggled to keep up. Yet in the voice of soprano Myriam Leblanc, these arias find their full brilliance.

The Quebec ensemble Mirabilia reveals the vitality of the German Baroque period through the works of Johann Sebastian Bach. The arias for soprano, interwoven with instrumental pieces, offer us a sensitive and refined journey. A delicious moment between voice and instruments of the period. 

“Her name is Myriam Leblanc and, in my opinion, she is one of the most beautiful voices of the last 10 years, perhaps the most beautiful to have emerged from the Quebec breeding ground…”. – Christophe Huss, Samedi et rien d’autre
