English Baroque Soloists

Founded by the acclaimed conductor Sir John Eliot Gardiner, the English Baroque Soloists emerged as one of the foremost ensembles specializing in the performance of Baroque music using period instruments and historically informed practices. Since its inception in the late 1970s, the group has earned international renown for its dynamic and insightful performances, which have garnered a distinguished reputation in both the recording studio and on the concert stage.

Noted for their authoritative interpretations of the works of composers such as J.S. Bach, Handel, Monteverdi, and Rameau, the English Baroque Soloists strive to bring a fresh perspective and vivid musicality to the Baroque repertoire. Their extensive discography showcases a commitment to both erudite musicianship and innovative programming, with recent releases that include magnificent renditions of Handel's "Water Music" and "Semele", as well as several of Bach's masterpieces such as the "St. John Passion" and the "Orchestral Suites." Under Gardiner's leadership, the ensemble has formed a cherished part of the early music landscape, appealing to audiences with their passionate and refined performances of 17th and 18th-century works.
