Collection: Period Performance
Period Performance is a meticulous musical approach that seeks to recreate the authentic sound and performance practices of classical music from specific historical eras, with a primary focus on Baroque and Classical periods. Practitioners of this genre, including specialized ensembles and soloists, dedicate themselves to performing music using period-accurate instruments like the harpsichord, historic keyboards, and Baroque violins, and employing historical performance techniques. Whether through a full Baroque ensemble, Italian Baroque ensemble, or individual historic classical performances, these musicians strive to honor the original compositional intent by using replica instruments, studying contemporary performance manuscripts, and embracing vocal and instrumental styles that closely mirror the musical practices of the time. Historically Informed Performance serves as the core philosophy, guiding musicians to reconstruct the nuanced musical expressions of bygone centuries with scholarly precision and artistic reverence.
