Ensemble Giardino di Delizie

Ensemble Giardino di Delizie is a vibrant early music group dedicated to reviving the lush soundscapes of the Baroque era, with a special focus on Italian and Polish composers. Known for their meticulous attention to historical performance practices, the ensemble brings fresh energy to overlooked gems, from the intricate violin sinfonias of Stradella to the expressive trio sonatas of Isabella Leonarda. Their recent albums, like *Gems of the Polish Baroque* and *Alla Polacca*, highlight their knack for uncovering cross-cultural connections in 17th- and 18th-century music, showcasing how Polish influences seeped into broader European styles.

Led by harpsichordist and director Ewa Anna Augustynowicz, the group balances scholarly rigor with infectious enthusiasm, making even the most niche repertoire feel alive and relatable. Whether they’re diving into the dramatic cantatas of Colista or the playful sinfonias of Carlo Ambrogio Lonati, Ensemble Giardino di Delizie thrives on blending precision with passion. Their recordings, often released on labels like Brilliant Classics, have become go-to listens for Baroque enthusiasts craving both discovery and depth.
