laBarocca

laBarocca is an Italian early music ensemble known for reviving Baroque and Classical masterpieces with fresh energy and historical flair. Led by conductor Ruben Jais, the group specializes in historically informed performances, often using period instruments to recreate the vibrant sounds of composers like Bach, Zelenka, and lesser-known Baroque figures. Their recent releases, such as *Missa omnium sanctorum, ZWV 21* (highlighting Jan Dismas Zelenka’s intricate sacred music) and *Bach: The Solo Cantatas for Bass*, showcase their knack for balancing scholarly precision with emotional depth. They’ve also explored thematic projects like *Heroes in Love*, which delves into dramatic Baroque vocal works centered on love and heroism. Based in Milan, laBarocca has built a reputation for making centuries-old music feel alive and relatable, whether through recordings or dynamic live performances.
