**Ensemble Barocco di Napoli** is a vibrant early music group dedicated to reviving the rich Baroque traditions of Naples, Italy. Known for their lively interpretations of 18th-century composers like Alessandro Scarlatti and Robert Valentine (an English composer who settled in Rome), the ensemble brings a fresh energy to works for woodwinds, strings, and continuo. Their recent releases, such as *Il soffio di Partenope* and recordings of Scarlatti’s oboe sonatas, showcase their knack for blending scholarly precision with playful flair, spotlighting Naples’ underrated role in Baroque music history.
With a focus on historical instruments and performance practices, the group unearths gems from Neapolitan archives, from courtly trios to rustic folk-inspired pieces. Tracks like *Trio for 2 Recorders and Continuo in G Minor* reveal their crisp articulation and infectious rhythms, while their exploration of Valentine’s *Un inglese a Roma* highlights their curiosity for cross-cultural Baroque exchanges. Perfect for music nerds and casual listeners alike, Ensemble Barocco di Napoli turns dusty manuscripts into toe-tapping time capsules.
