Arcangelo is a renowned Baroque music ensemble that embodies the richness and dynamism of early music performance. Named after the 17th-century composer Arcangelo Corelli, the group was founded by the accomplished English conductor and cellist Jonathan Cohen. Since its inception, Arcangelo has garnered critical acclaim for its fresh and vibrant interpretations of music from the 17th and 18th centuries. Their repertoire spans a variety of forms including oratorios, operas, and chamber music, which they perform with historical authenticity and an innovative spirit.

The ensemble is known for its collaborations with some of the leading soloists in the field of early music. Their discography reflects a dedication to both well-known and lesser-known works, featuring masterpieces like Handel's "Theodora," Vivaldi's "Concerto in B Minor," and Bach's Cantatas. Their projects often involve a deep exploration of thematic concepts, such as the juxtaposition of the sacred and the profane in their release "Sacroprofano." With performances that range from the dramatic intensity of "La morte di Nerone" to the introspective beauty of "glass hearts," Arcangelo continues to captivate audiences with their meticulous musicianship and passionate renditions of Baroque treasures.
