The King's Consort
The King's Consort is a British period-instrument ensemble founded in 1980 by conductor and harpsichordist Robert King. Known for their vibrant interpretations of Baroque and early Classical music, they’ve become synonymous with crisp, lively performances of works by composers like Purcell, Handel, and Bach. Their catalog—packed with recordings of odes, sonatas, and cantatas—showcases a knack for breathing fresh energy into centuries-old music, whether through Purcell’s royal tributes or Handel’s dramatic vocal pieces.
Under King’s leadership, the group earned acclaim for historically informed performances and meticulous attention to detail, later transitioning to new directors like Matthew Halls while maintaining their signature style. Their recent releases, from Handel’s Italian cantatas to Mendelssohn’s reworkings of biblical epics, prove they’re still masters at connecting modern audiences to the drama and intimacy of early music. Whether unearthing lesser-known gems or reimagining classics, The King’s Consort remains a cornerstone of the Baroque revival scene.
