Hannoversche Hofkapelle

German Baroque Ensemble

The Hannoversche Hofkapelle is a historically informed performance ensemble based in Hanover, Germany. Specializing in the music of the Baroque and early Classical periods, the group is known for its authentic interpretations of works from the 17th and 18th centuries. The ensemble often performs on period instruments to capture the sound and style that would have been familiar to audiences of the time. The Hannoversche Hofkapelle has contributed to the revival of lesser-known works and has collaborated with various soloists and choirs to bring historically significant music back to life. Their repertoire includes a range of compositions from chamber music to larger orchestral works, including those by Handel, which are suggested by their album titles such as "Water Music HWV 348-350" and "Concerto Grosso Op.6, 11." The ensemble's dedication to historical accuracy and lively performances has earned them recognition in the realm of early music.
