Capella De La Torre

Capella De La Torre is a Germany-based early music ensemble that brings Renaissance and Baroque compositions to life with historically informed flair. Led by shawm and cornett virtuoso Katharina Bäuml, the group specializes in reviving medieval to early Baroque repertoire, often spotlighting lesser-known works with their signature blend of wind instruments, strings, and vocals. Their recent releases—like the contemplative *Abendmusik* album exploring Buxtehude and contemporaries, or the lively *Taffel Consort* tracks—showcase their knack for balancing solemn sacred pieces (think Schütz’s *Musikalische Exequien*) with playful dance tunes. Whether reimagining a Buxtehude chaconne or diving into Monteverdi’s intricate soundscapes, they treat every performance like a 500-year-old time capsule, carefully polished for modern ears. Fun fact: Their name nods to the Renaissance wind instrument "torre" (a.k.a. crumhorn), a fitting tribute to their wind-centric roots!
