Nadine Sierra, soprano
Adèle Charvet, mezzo-soprano
Pene Pati, tenor
Renaud Capuçon, violin
Daniel Lozakovich , violin
Gauthier Capuçon, cello
Khatia Buniatishvili, piano
Lang Lang, piano
Matthieu Chedid, guitar
Thibaut Cauvin, guitar
Orchestre National de France
Radio France Choir – Lionel Sow, choirmaster
Radio France Choir – Sofi Jeannin, choirmaster
Cristian Măcelaru, conductor
