Bio
Concentus Musicus Wien is an Austrian early-music ensemble founded in Vienna in 1953 by Nikolaus Harnoncourt and his wife Alice. The group is renowned for its historically informed performances of Baroque repertoire, using period instruments and playing techniques. Concentus Musicus Wien has recorded extensively for labels such as Teldec and Warner Classics, and its interpretations of composers like Bach, Handel, and Monteverdi have been influential in the revival of authentic performance practice.
