Ensemble Polyharmonique

Ensemble Polyharmonique is a German early music ensemble specializing in historically informed performances of 17th- and 18th-century repertoire. Led by lutenist and conductor Alexander Schneider, they're known for their vibrant and engaging interpretations of works by composers like Bach, Schütz, Telemann, and lesser-known figures of the Baroque era. They frequently collaborate with vocal soloists and choirs, bringing a fresh perspective to both sacred and secular music of the period.

Their recordings often focus on specific themes or historical contexts, such as the Dresden Christmas Vespers or the music of the Bach family. This dedication to exploring the rich tapestry of Baroque music has earned them critical acclaim and a devoted following. They're particularly recognized for their dynamic performances and their commitment to using period instruments, creating an authentic and immersive listening experience.
