Capriccio Stravagante
Capriccio Stravagante is world-renowned for their memorable interpretations of Renaissance and Baroque music. Founded in 1986 by Skip Sempé, the ensemble of 4-40 performers now incorporates Capriccio Stravagante, the Capriccio Stravagante Orchestra, the Capriccio Stravagante Renaissance Orchestra and Capriccio Stravagante Opera. The diverse vocal and instrumental formations feature the finest European, American and Canadian musicians. Their extensive discography includes music by Byrd, Monteverdi, Purcell, Bach, Buxtehude, Handel, Telemann, Lully and Couperin, as well as Versailles – L’Ile Enchante, Venezia Stravagantissima (Alpha) and Paradizo (Paradizo). These recordings have made a considerable contribution to Capriccio Stravagante’s acceptance as the foremost interpretive force in Renaissance and Baroque repertoire to have emerged in decades.
Since the very beginning, the combination of nonchalance and power which are the trademarks of Skip Sempé and Capriccio Stravagante’s live performances and recordings have been rewarded with outstanding critical praise worldwide.
Since the very beginning, the musicians have shared an individual and collective dedication to unlimited liberty of expression, outstanding power of instrumental sonority and vocal excellence. Their success is the result of the selection of one-of-a-kind artists chosen and catalyzed by Skip Sempé. Their qualities encourage the daring virtuosity, audience contact, charm and spontaneity of Latin temperament essential to all that is Renaissance and Baroque. Capriccio Stravagante’s two dozen recordings on the Deutsche Harmonia Mundi, Astree, Alpha, Teldec and Paradizo labels have received over forty international awards. Capriccio Stravagante has expanded their kaleidoscopic variety of sound and programming with the long-awaited concerts and debut recording of the Capriccio Stravagante Renaissance Orchestra. This group is the largest and most luxurious gathering yet assembled for the performance of masterpieces from this Golden Age of musical creativity. The Renaissance Orchestra offers virtuoso performers on highly distinctive musical instruments whose playing techniques are completely unknown to classically trained instrumentalists and audiences. Complete with Renaissance violins, viols, recorders, cornetti, sackbuts, lutes, harps, harpsichords, virginals, organs, regals and percussion, the Capriccio Stravagante Renaissance Orchestra also features glamorous voices and consort singers with a focus on dramatic intent yet to be fully experienced in this repertoire.
