L'Arpeggiata

about

L'Arpeggiata is a baroque ensemble founded in Paris, France, in 2000 by the harpist and lutenist Christina Pluhar. L'Arpeggiata's members are today’s finest instrumentalists and in addition they work with the most exceptional singers from the baroque and the traditional music worlds. L'Arpeggiata's work and philosophy is based on improvisations on the music of the 17th century, a rich sound texture by blending all colours of various plucked instruments from the baroque period, a vocal interpretation influenced by traditional Italian folk music, as well as the creation and staging of attractive shows. Since its foundation in the year 2000, L'Arpeggiata has had an incredible response from the audience as well as from the critics: They have sold over 200,000 copies of their albums and have received outstanding reviews for their albums and concerts. Their album "La Villanella" dedicated to the music of Girolamo Kapsberger has been considered ‘Event of the month’ by 'Répertoire des disques' in September 2001 and has been awarded with the 'Premio Internationale del disco per la musica italiana'. Their second album "Homo fugit velut umbra" devoted to Stefano Landi was ’10 de Repertoire’, ‘Diapason Découverte’, ‘CD of the Week’ by BBC, ‘CD of the Month’ by Amadeus (Italy) and Prix Exellentia by Pizzicato (Luxemburg). "La tarantella: Antidotum tarantulae", which proposes an encounter between baroque and traditional musicians, has been ’10 de Repertoire’, ‘CD of the Week’ by France
