First solo album
“Young gambist Noémie Lenhof has done an excellent job in unpublished and best-known pieces, very well accompanied by a luxury continuo.”
“You think you’ve heard all of Marin Marais’s gamba music. That was before you met Noémie Lenhof and her partners’ talent.”
“Noémie Lenhof released her first album as a soloist (…). Her thoughtful interpretations and excellent technical skills reflect an intimate knowledge of Marin Marais’s music.”
“The score comes alive to get some color and grow in three dimensions… It’s exquisite.”
“A masterstroke, (…) simply amazing !”
“An outstanding interpretation of Marin Marais’s unknown pieces and embellished by Noémie Lenhof.”
“Noémie Lenhof plays these unpublished pieces with an inspirational devotion and a quasi-mystical approach.”
“It’s a laudable recording by a rising star of viola da gamba.”
“(…) it’s one of the best Marais albums. By giving birth to this dedication to her art, Noémie Lenhof had won her place at the Parnassus of the viol players.”
“Noémie Lenhof delights listeners.”
“Don’t miss it !”
About
Noémie first played the piano and the cello. She fell in love with viola da gamba when she arrived in Paris in 2013. She discovered the repertoire of this instrument with Christine Plubeau before being admitted to the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse (CNSM) in Paris to study with Christophe Coin in 2017.
She won prizes at several international competitions, such as the Lyceum Club Competition in Switzerland and the H.I.F. Biber Competition in Austria, together with the harpsichordist Guillaume Haldenwang.
Noémie is sought-after as a continuist, soloist, and chamber musician. She has appeared with a number of ensembles including Les Musiciens du Louvre (Marc Minkowski), Artaserse (Philippe Jaroussky), Correspondances (Sébastien Daucé), Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien (François Lazarevitch), Il Caravaggio (Camille Delaforge), La Palatine. She performs in prestigious venues and festivals: Oude Muziek Utrecht Festival, York Early Music Festival, festival d’Ambronay, festival de Saintes,…
Noémie has recorded a first solo opus, dedicated to Marais’ unpublished pieces. It has been released with the label L’Encelade in January 2024 and has been called nothing less than a “masterstroke” by musical criticism.
