Based on the provided discography focusing on Baroque sacred music by composers like Buxtehude, Kuhnau, and Schein, "Opella Musica" appears to be a European early music vocal and instrumental ensemble. They are known for their scholarly yet expressive recordings of often-overlooked German sacred works from the 17th and early 18th centuries, frequently released as part of multi-volume complete works series. Their performances are characterized by a clear, historically informed approach that brings these intricate choral and instrumental pieces to life for modern audiences.
The group, often collaborating with the ensemble "instrumenta musica," is closely associated with the German record label cpo (classic production osnabrück), where they have undertaken significant projects like recording the complete sacred works of Johann Kuhnau (J.S. Bach's predecessor at Leipzig's Thomaskirche) and Dieterich Buxtehude. Under the direction of conductor Gregor Meyer, Opella Musica has established itself as a dedicated and respected contributor to the field of early music recording, specializing in meticulously researched and beautifully rendered interpretations of this specific repertoire.
