Castello Consort
Praised for their lilting, expressive sound and harmonious interplay, the Dutch ensemble Castello Consort explores music from the renaissance and early baroque periods. The core of the ensemble is formed by Matthijs van der Moolen (sackbut), Anne-Linde Visser (bass violin, cello and viola da gamba), and Elise Dupont (violin), . They are joined by guest musicians for each programme.
In their search for new timbres the Castello Consort initiated the building of a unique pipe organ, combining a historically accurate reproduction of a 1600’s Italian church organ with the transportability that is necessary for today’s performance practice.
For their debut-CD ‘Fantastissimus’, the ensemble collaborated with contemporary composer Martijn Padding. He composed a collection of pieces inspired by his seventeenth century colleagues: sometimes conceptual, sometimes theatrical, sometimes very close to improvisation, but always bold and unconventional.
