Ensemble Cristofori

Baroque Ensemble Specializing in Historical Keyboard Music

Ensemble Cristofori is a classical music group that specializes in performing on period instruments, particularly focusing on the works of the Classical era. The ensemble is named after Bartolomeo Cristofori, the inventor of the piano. They are known for their interpretations of Mozart's works and have a reputation for historically informed performances. The group often collaborates with fortepianists, which is in line with their dedication to authenticity and the use of instruments that would have been available during the time the music was composed. Their discography includes recordings of Mozart's piano concertos, which have been well-received by critics for their attention to historical detail and musicality. Ensemble Cristofori's contributions to classical music involve both preserving and revitalizing the sounds of the past through informed performance practices.
