Out of sheer joy in the liveliness and virtuosity of Baroque music, these musicians from several large German orchestras have been coming together since 1990 in order to interpret music of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries on period instruments. With many seldom-played works, their repertoire is the result of intensive searches through the libraries and archives of Europe, and numerous works have been recorded for the first time. Their extensive concert activities range from chamber concert broadcasts and appearances at music festivals to the smallest productions of Baroque operas.
