Sebastian Knebel

Sebastian Knebel is a German violinist known for his historically-informed performances, particularly specializing in the Baroque and Classical periods. He's gained recognition for his interpretations of works by composers like Biber, Bach, and lesser-known figures such as Johann Ernst Prinz von Sachsen-Weimar. Knebel frequently collaborates with other musicians and ensembles in exploring this repertoire, often using period instruments to achieve an authentic sound. His discography reflects his deep dive into specific composers and collections, including complete sets of violin concertos and sonata cycles like Biber's Rosenkranzsonaten.

Beyond his focus on early music, Knebel also explores later repertoire and has recorded albums of beloved German hymns. This demonstrates his versatility and commitment to sharing a wide range of music with audiences. He's a sought-after soloist and chamber musician, bringing his passion for historical performance practice to concert halls and recording studios alike.
