Les Cornets Noirs

**Les Cornets Noirs** is an ensemble that brings Baroque sacred and instrumental music to life with a focus on historically informed performances. Specializing in the polychoral works of 17th-century composers like Giovanni Gabrieli, Heinrich Schütz, and Georg Muffat, they’re known for immersive projects that recreate the spatial acoustics of grand sacred spaces, like the Abbey Church of Muri in Switzerland. Their albums, such as *Polychoral Splendour* and *Echo & Risposta*, highlight their flair for placing musicians in multiple galleries to achieve the "echo" effects these compositions demand. With a name nodding to Renaissance-era cornetts (wind instruments), the group balances reverence for early music traditions with vibrant, dynamic interpretations, particularly in lesser-known gems from composers like Emperor Leopold I and Giovanni Legrenzi. Perfect for fans of rich choral textures and brass-heavy Baroque brilliance!
