Das Kleine Konzert is a classical music ensemble that has been delighting audiences with its performances for over 30 years. The ensemble was founded in 1986 by Hermann Max, a renowned conductor and musicologist, with the aim of exploring and performing lesser-known works from the Baroque and Classical periods. The ensemble's name, which translates to "The Little Concert," reflects its focus on chamber music and smaller-scale performances. The ensemble's core members include a group of talented musicians who specialize in period instruments, including violins, violas, cellos, flutes, oboes, bassoons, and harpsichords. Over the years, Das Kleine Konzert has become known for its innovative and engaging performances, which often feature lesser-known works by composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach, Georg Philipp Telemann, and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. The ensemble's performances are characterized by their precision, clarity, and attention to detail, as well as their lively and engaging interpretations of the music. One of the highlights of Das Kleine Konzert's career was its performance at the 1990 Bachfest in Leipzig, Germany. The ensemble was invited to perform a program of works by Johann Sebastian Bach, including his Brandenburg Concertos and his Mass in B Minor. The performance was a great success, and helped to establish Das Kleine Konzert as one of the leading ensembles in the field of Baroque and Classical music. In addition to its performances, Das Kleine Konzert has also received numerous awards and accolades for its recordings. The ensemble has recorded over 50 albums, many of which have been praised for their high quality and innovative interpretations of the music. Some of the ensemble's most acclaimed recordings include its performances of Telemann's Tafelmusik and Bach's Brandenburg Concertos. Despite its success, Das Kleine Konzert remains committed to its original mission of exploring and performing lesser-known works from the Baroque and Classical periods. The ensemble continues to push the boundaries of classical music performance, and to inspire audiences with its innovative and engaging interpretations of the music.
