André Caplet (23 November 1878 – 22 April 1925) was a French composer and conductor. He exhibited an unusual talent and originality during his musical education, and won the Prix de Rome in 1901 ahead of Maurice Ravel. Caplet was a close friend of Claude Debussy; his orchestration of Debussy's Clair de lune from the Suite bergamasque is probably the most widely performed and recorded example of his work. Caplet was also a composer in his own right, whose works have been overlooked for the most part in the modern repertoire. As a conductor, Caplet served as conductor of the Boston Opera from 1910 to 1914.

Jean-Claude Fasel is a Swiss conductor. He studied music in Fribourg, his hometown, then in Geneva, Neuchâtel and France. The meeting with Michel Corboz led him to sing at the Ensemble Vocal Lausanne as well as conducting there in concert and recording. Fasel has conducted many different choral groups in the field of oratorio, including L’Accroche-Chœur of Fribourg (since 1992); the Cantabile symphonic choir of Neuchâtel (from 1996 to 2008); and the Chorus of Fribourg University (since 2000). In addition to conducting choir and orchestra, Fasel teaches at the Fribourg Pedagogical University.
