Experience Concerto Malaga

Concerto Málaga is a Spanish orchestral collective specializing in historically informed performance practice of 18th and 19th-century music, particularly that of composer Luigi Boccherini, for whom Málaga was a significant creative base. Founded in 1987 by violinist and musicologist Enrique García Asensio, the group initially focused on rediscovering and performing Boccherini’s complete works – a project they successfully completed over two decades.

The ensemble distinguishes itself through its dedication to utilizing period instruments and performance techniques, aiming for authenticity in sound and interpretation. They frequently collaborate with internationally renowned soloists, including cellists like Steven Isserlis and violists like Roger Chase. Concerto Málaga's discography is extensive, primarily centered around Boccherini’s output, released on labels like Naxos and Deutsche Wagram.

Their recordings have garnered critical acclaim for their vibrancy and scholarship, receiving awards such as the Diapason d'Or (France) and nominations for the Gramophone Awards. Beyond performance, Concerto Málaga actively engages in research and educational outreach related to Boccherini's life and work, solidifying their position as leading experts in his oeuvre.
