Biography

“Lively, cheerful and perfect” – that’s how the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung described il Gusto Barocco ensemble on the occasion of their residency at the Ansbach Bach Week as festival orchestra. The Baroque orchestra, founded in Stuttgart in 2008 by Jörg Halubek, conductor, harpsichordist and organist, is made up of leading international virtuosi of the younger generation; they have committed themselves to making the current state of research audible in their music performances. Highlights of recent years have included the residency as festival orchestra at the Ansbach Bach Week, the premieres of Heinichen’s Flavio Crispo (2016) and Giuseppe Antonio Brescianello’s opera Tisbe (2012). The two premiered operas Flavio Crispo and Tisbe were released by cpo (2014 and 2018) and highly praised by the media. Opernwelt remarked on Flavio Crispo: “Its founder and leader Jörg Halubek has, like no other of his German colleagues, a spirited theatrical sensibility”, and Concerto praises the “careful shaping of slow tempi and their accompaniment, which feel like an improvisation.” The Stuttgarter Nachrichten described the Tisbe orchestra as “extraordinarily agile, differentiated“ and kulturradio rbb confirms: “what a sensual, transparent, flexible ensemble!” In 2021, Il Gusto Barocco will continue the Monteverdi cycle they began at the Mannheim National Theatre in 2017 with Orfeo.
