Il Fondamento

Il Fondamento is a vibrant Belgian Baroque ensemble founded in 1989 by oboist and director Paul Dombrecht. Specializing in historically informed performances, the group brings fresh energy to 17th- and 18th-century repertoire, from well-loved works by Handel and Bach to hidden gems by composers like Jan Dismas Zelenka. Their discography—including releases like *Zelenka: Instrumental Works* and *Abel: Ouvertures & Sinfonias*—showcases their knack for balancing dramatic liturgical pieces (like the haunting *De Profundis*) with playful courtly galanteries. Known for crisp oboe solos and collaborations with top vocalists, they’ve carved a niche for reviving forgotten scores while keeping core Baroque masterpieces sounding adventurous.
