Aura Musicale Ensemble is a distinguished chamber group renowned for their dedication to the performance of Baroque and early classical music, utilizing period authentic instruments and historically informed performance practices. Founded in Budapest, the ensemble brings together some of the finest Hungarian musicians specializing in early music, under the artistic direction of renowned Baroque violinist Balázs Máté. Since its inception, the group has attracted praise for its dynamic and nuanced interpretations of 17th- and 18th-century works, delivering a rich sonic tapestry that honors the compositional integrity and stylistic nuances of the era.

The ensemble's discography reflects a scholarly and passionate approach to musical curation, as evidenced in their recent releases. In "Tessarini: Contrasto Armonico, Op. 10 / Introducioni A 4, Op. 11, Book I," they explore the vibrant and inventive works of Carlo Tessarini, showcasing the composer's flair for bold harmonies and melodic contrasts. Their rendition of "Quantz: 4 Flute Concertos" offers a fresh perspective on Quantz's virtuosic and expressive compositions for the flute, an instrument he significantly contributed to developing. With "Gluck: Trio Sonatas (Complete)," Aura Musicale Ensemble presents the intricate and lyrical chamber works of Christoph Willibald Gluck, illuminating his transition from Baroque to Classical paradigms. Finally, their performance of "Valentini: 7 Bizzarrie Per Camera, Op. 2 (Complete)" reveals the ensemble's ability to embrace the idiosyncratic and experimental nature of Giuseppe Valentini's chamber music, attesting to their skill and versatility in interpreting the lesser-known gems of early music repertoire.
