Experience La Nuova Musica
La Nuova Musica is a pioneering British vocal ensemble specializing in historically informed performance of 17th and early 18th-century Italian music. Founded in 1997 by director David Bates, the group focuses specifically on the *seconda pratica* – a revolutionary style emphasizing expressive delivery over strict counterpoint, championed by composers like Caccini and Monteverdi.
Unlike many period instrument groups, La Nuova Musica employs no instrumentalists; all musical texture is created solely through voices, utilizing techniques mirroring those of the Florentine Camerata. This approach delivers remarkably intimate and dramatic interpretations. They’ve released critically acclaimed recordings on Harmonia Mundi, including complete operas like Monteverdi’s *L’Orfeo* (awarded a Gramophone Editor's Choice) and *L'incoronazione di Poppea*, alongside collections of madrigals and solo cantatas.
La Nuova Musica regularly performs at major international festivals and concert halls, including the Wigmore Hall and the BBC Proms. Their work is characterized by meticulous research, virtuosic vocalism, and a commitment to bringing the emotional power of early Baroque music to contemporary audiences.
