Concerto Amsterdam
**Concerto Amsterdam** was a cool Dutch chamber ensemble that lit up the classical scene in the 1960s and '70s, specializing in Baroque and early Classical vibes with a pioneering twist on historical performance. Founded in 1960 by violinist Jaap Schröder—who led as concertmaster until 1973—they pulled top talent from Amsterdam's Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, including stars like keyboardist Gustav Leonhardt, flautist Frans Brüggen, cellist Anner Bylsma, and violist Joke Vermeulen.
Starting out on modern instruments but nailing that "historically informed" style, they switched to period instruments in the late '60s, dropping gems like Telemann's *Tafelmusik*, Vivaldi's *Four Seasons*, Bach cantatas, and even the first full recording of Hindemith's *Die 7 Kammermusiken*. They snagged the Edison Award in 1977, and tons of their Telefunken LPs got fresh CD life via Teldec's *Das Alte Werk* series—timeless stuff for Baroque fans!
