La Nuova Musica

La Nuova Musica is a vibrant British ensemble specializing in Baroque and early classical music, known for their fresh, dynamic take on historically informed performances. Founded and directed by conductor David Bates, the group brings energy and precision to works by composers like Handel, Purcell, and Gluck—evident in releases such as *Handel: Famous Pieces* and *Gluck: Orfeo ed Euridice*. They’ve earned praise for blending scholarly rigor with emotional storytelling, whether reviving lesser-known gems (*Handel's Unsung Heroes*) or reimagining staples like *Dido and Aeneas*, where their recordings of "When I am laid" and "The Sailors Dance" showcase their knack for balancing drama and delicacy.

With a flexible lineup of world-class vocalists and instrumentalists, La Nuova Musica thrives on collaboration, often spotlighting rising stars alongside established names. Their live recordings, like *Gluck: Orfeo ed Euridice [Live]*, capture the electricity of their concerts, while albums such as *Beauteous Softness* and *Pergolesi: Stabat Mater* highlight their versatility across sacred and secular works. Based in the UK but celebrated globally, they’ve become a go-to for listeners craving Baroque music that feels both authentic and alive.
