English Baroque Soloists
“The ensemble was dazzlingly precise and powerful” - The Daily Telegraph The English Baroque Soloists have long been established as one of the world’s leading period instrument orchestras. Throughout their repertoire, ranging from Monteverdi to Mozart and Haydn, they are equally at home in chamber, symphonic and operatic repertoire and the distinctive sound of their warm and incisive playing is instantly recognisable. The ensemble has performed at many of the world’s most prestigious venues including La Scala in Milan, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and Sydney Opera House. In the course of the 1990s they performed Mozart’s operas and recorded all his mature symphonies and complete piano concerto cycle. Their recent recordings with the Company’s record label Soli Deo Gloria have all received international acclaim – including releases of Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos and Mozart’s Symphonies 39 & 41. The English Baroque Soloists are regularly involved in projects along with the Monteverdi Choir, with whom they took part in the trail-blazing Bach Cantata Pilgrimage in 2000, performing all of Bach’s sacred cantatas throughout Europe. Other recent tours with the Monteverdi Choir under the direction of Sir John Eliot Gardiner included Bach’s Mass in B Minor and Monteverdi’s Vespers (1610). Their projects in 2012 will be a live concert recording of Bach’s Ascension Cantata in London, and Haydn’s Die Schöpfung (The Creation) at the opening concert of the the Salzburg Festival.
