London Baroque is an eminent ensemble that has carved a distinguished niche for itself in the realm of historically informed performance of early music. Formed in 1978, the group quickly gained renown for their superlative mastery of the baroque repertoire, bringing to life the rich textures and nuanced expressiveness of 17th and 18th-century music. Their specialization in the trio sonata—a form that flourished during the Baroque era—has been showcased in a vast array of recordings that demonstrate not only technical excellence but also a deep understanding of period style and practice.

Over the years, London Baroque has delved into the music of various European countries, illuminating the distinctive qualities and historical significance of each region's contributions to the form. Their discography paints a comprehensive picture of the trio sonata's evolution through their collections such as "The Trio Sonata in 17th Century Italy," "The Trio Sonata in 17th Century France," and extending to German and English interpretations of the genre. By playing on original instruments with an awareness of historical context, London Baroque offers audiences and listeners an authentic auditory experience that is as educational as it is enchanting. Their recent releases like "Peaceful Handel" and explorations into Mozart's oeuvre affirm their versatility and commitment to bridging the gap between contemporary audiences and the treasures of Baroque chamber music.
