La Bellemont
With a career spanning almost two decades, La Bellemont has established itself as a leading ensemble in the performance of Baroque music in Spain. Backed by a nomination for the prestigious ICMA awards, the group is celebrated for its elegance, perfectionism, and expressive power. Their highly acclaimed discography includes La voix de la viole (awarded “5 Diapasons” by Diapason) and Plaisir Sacré (awarded “Excepcional” by Scherzo). Following these successes, they present their third album, dedicated to François Couperin’s Pièces de violes. True to their philosophy of long-term projects, the ensemble has expanded its repertoire to include Italian Seicento and Spanish Renaissance as well as German music by J.S. Bach and his predecessors. Their program Choralfantasie, featuring instrumental transcriptions of Bach’s organ masterworks, drew stellar reviews; Scherzo magazine noted the group’s ability to “flirt with perfection”. La Bellemont has performed at the main Spanish Early Music festivals. Furthemore, its members are professors at Higher Conservatoires of Music.
