La Ritirata is a vibrant Spanish early music ensemble known for breathing fresh life into Baroque and Classical gems. Founded by cellist Josetxu Obregón, the group digs into 17th- and 18th-century repertoire with infectious energy, often spotlighting Spanish composers like Boccherini or diving into Italian treasures by Scarlatti and Caldara. Their recordings, like *The Cello in Spain* and *Neapolitan Concertos*, showcase their knack for blending scholarly rigor with playful spontaneity—you’ll hear period instruments, fiery fandangos, and operatic rarities in their work. Whether resurrecting Cervantes-inspired operas or string trios, La Ritirata’s performances feel like time-traveling jam sessions where historical accuracy meets sheer musical joy.
