Ensemble Pian and Forte

Ensemble Pian and Forte is a dynamic baroque ensemble specializing in historically informed performances of 17th- and 18th-century music. Known for their crisp articulation and vibrant energy, the group brings fresh life to works by composers like Vivaldi, Biber, and lesser-known figures such as Bernardo Gaffi. Their recent releases—including bold trumpet-centric Vivaldi concertos, Gombert’s regal coronation motets, and Biber’s intricate chamber works—showcase their knack for balancing fiery virtuosity with delicate emotional nuance. While details about their founding or lineup aren’t widely publicized, their recordings (often on labels like Accent or Brilliant Classics) reveal a deep respect for period instruments and archival research, particularly in resurrecting overlooked gems like *La Forza Del Divino Amore*. Perfect for fans of early music’s drama and texture, they’re like time travelers with a flair for making ancient notes feel freshly inked.
