Barockorchester Frankfurt (= The Frankfurt Baroque Orchestra) was established in 1986 by Joachim Carlos Martini and fellow musicians, in conjunction, in particular, with the work of the Junge Kantorei, and has collaborated in performances throughout Germany and abroad, notably in Paris, London, Oxford and Amsterdam. At the heart of the repertoire are the oratorios of George Frideric Handel, although the orchestra also extends its activities to the classical and early romantic periods, in its special attention to the principles of early music performance practice. |
