Neobarock (own spelling: NeoBarock ) is a German chamber music group specializing in the interpretation of music between around 1600 and around 1800 on original instruments or their replicas.

history

Neo-Baroque consists of Maren Ries (violin and viola), Anna-Maria Smerd (violin), Ariane Spiegel (violoncello) and Stanislav Gres (harpsichord).

Neo-Baroque was founded in 2003 by the artistic director Maren Ries (violin), the cellist Ariane Spiegel and the violinist Volker Möller. Harpsichordist Stanislav Gres has been a member of Neo-Baroque since 2017. The claim of the ensemble, which is also expressed in the name, is to combine historical authenticity with an aesthetic reference to contemporary listening. Neo-Baroque can be heard at all important early music festivals and in many concert halls. Neo-Baroque takes on the label ambitus. The album Musik der Einsamkeit - Ein Melopoem was awarded the ECHO Klassik 2014 by the jury of the German Phono Academy .

repertoire

In addition to the standard baroque repertoire, Neo-Baroque has numerous new discoveries, e.g. B. unknown versions of Bach chamber music, a trio sonata cycle by Johann Philipp Kirnberger and chamber music by Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel recorded and brought to the concert hall. Neo-Baroque draws attention again and again with concept programs that are well thought-out in terms of dramaturgy and programming, such as early and late versions of Bach's concerts or the development of the piano quartet by Mozart and Haydn up to Beethoven's early piano quartets.
Based on the Baroque Gesamtkunstwerk, Neo-Baroque works across genres with artists such as the painters Gerhard Richter and Michael Fischer-Art , the Austrian writer Robert Schneider and the journalist Hans Conrad Zander .
