The title of the ensemble Concerto Fiorito refers to florid playing, enriched with ornaments and diminutions, creating a wide palette of colours and expressive means that serve the semantics of music. Internationally renowned early music performers, playing with many different ensembles and orchestras all over the world, united their knowledge and experience in the team of Concerto Fiorito for the same mission – to research the ways how the instrumental music of the XVI, XVII and XVIII centuries “tell the stories”, to reveal its rethorical powers and to revive this music through its semantic content. The ensemble uses the historically informed approach to the performance of renaissance and baroque repertoire, respecting composers’ ideas of their own works and their historical context. Though based on deep theoretical research, this approach is always combined with lively and emotionally touching performance that reaches out to the hearts of contemporary audiences.
