The uniqueness of its innovative projects, the technical ability of its musicians and the strong personality of its artistic director have made of Accademia del Piacere a vanguard group in Spanish early music and one of the leading ensembles of this kind in Europe. Accademia is especially appreciated for the group’s fascinating and direct communication to its audience, and its conception of historical music as being alive and full of emotions, an idea conveyed by the group’s musicians to their spectator from the heart.
Accademia del Piacere has revealed its various facets in fundamental repertoires of historical music, such as the Italian Seicento (in Le Lacrime di Eros, 2009 Prelude Classical Music Award, and Amori di Marte, centered on Monteverdi’s Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda, 2011 Disco Excepcional Scherzo and Tipp CD in Toccata Magazine, Germany), as well as French chamber music in the court of Louis XIV in Les violes du Ciel et de l’Enfer (nominated for the 2011 International Classical Music Awards).
