The Barockensemble der Wiener Symphoniker (Baroque ensemble of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra) was founded in 1989, in order to establish a range of concerts with high ranking Baroque music in the scope of the Bregenz festival in the Maria Bildstein Baroque church. These concerts developed into a real attraction for the public in the course of the years. On the basis of this success the ensemble was also invited to play at the special church service “100 years of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra” in July 2000 in Bregenz, and guested at the “Schubertiade” (a festival for Franz Schubert) in Schwarzenberg in 2003. Dolf Peter Oebbecke listened to the ensemble in the summer of 2003 in Bildstein and immediately engaged them for Triberg. What is special about the ensemble is that the style of playing and phrasing of the baroque is combined with the audio possibilities of today’s instruments, and so a unique sound culture is developed. The CD project: “Fiori Musicali Triberg” is a great joy for all members of the ensemble and at the same time a special artistic challenge. Through the targeted choice of solo instruments, each CD has its own programmatic style and distinctive design.
