Bruno Boterf is a high tenor well-known on the French early music scene. After studying musicology and art history,
Boterf concentrated on a singing career. He became a regular performer of Baroque opera under the batons of
Marc Minkowski,
William Christie,
Jean-Claude Malgoire, and
Hervé Niquet, but he also was singing Renaissance music with groups such as
Les Witches, Akademia,
Ensemble européen William Byrd, and
La Fenice, and contemporary music with the
Groupe Vocal de France and
Ensemble 2E2M. He was a member of the
Ensemble Clément Janequin for two decades, leaving in 2007 to concentrate on teaching at the Tours Conservatoire and founding his own vocal ensemble,
Ludus Modalis, which focuses on precise period performance of pre-Baroque, polyphonic music.
Ludus Modalis recordings appear on the Ramée label, and
Boterf may be heard with various ensembles on Alpha, Erato, CBS, Audivis, and other labels.
