L'Estravagante is a distinguished baroque ensemble that has garnered international acclaim for its virtuosic performances and innovative interpretations of seventeenth and eighteenth-century repertoire. Founded by some of the finest Italian period-instrument specialists, the group has dedicated itself to exploring the works of early music composers through meticulous research and a passionate approach to historical performance practice. At the core of L'Estravagante's philosophy is a desire to bring the richness and diversity of baroque music to a wide audience, doing so through a combination of technical excellence and expressive musicianship.

The ensemble's discography reflects a particular affinity for the works of both Italian and German composers, as evidenced by their recent forays into the chamber music of Antonio Vivaldi and Dieterich Buxtehude. Their recordings of Vivaldi's "Sonate da camera a tre, Op. 1" and Buxtehude's "Sonatas Op. 2" and "Sonatas Op. 1" have been lauded for their eloquent articulation and the nuanced interplay between the musicians. With these releases, L'Estravagante has solidified its status as one of the leading interpreters of baroque chamber music, offering fresh perspectives on the works of these venerable masters while remaining faithful to historical aesthetics and performance practices.
