Cappella Pratensis (NL)
Depuis près de quarante ans, l’ensemble Cappella Pratensis, lauréat du Gramophone Award, se distingue par son approche novatrice de l’interprétation de la polyphonie de la Renaissance. Il est l’un des rares ensembles professionnels au monde à chanter directement à partir de la notation historique, plutôt qu’à partir de transcriptions modernes. Cette approche immersive permet aux interprètes de développer une relation profondément ancrée avec les cultures musicales du passé, offrant ainsi des interprétations d’une grande intensité et authenticité.
En plus de se produire régulièrement aux Pays-Bas et en Belgique, Cappella Pratensis est invité dans les festivals et séries de concerts les plus prestigieux en Europe, en Amérique du Nord, en Amérique du Sud et au Japon. En 2024, l’ensemble a remporté un Gramophone Classical Music Award, l’une des distinctions les plus prestigieuses au monde dans le domaine de la musique classique.
Cappella Pratensis | Tim Braithwaite
For almost forty years, the Gramophone Award-winning ensemble Cappella Pratensis has been renowned for its innovative approach to the performance of Renaissance polyphonic music, being one of only a handful of professional ensembles in the world who perform directly from historical notation, as opposed to transcriptions in the form of a modern choral score. The result is an inherently immersive approach, in which the performers draw on a truly embodied relationship with past musical cultures in order to provide convincing and engaging performances.
CP-logo_tekst-onder-RGB_kleur.jpgIn addition to regular appearances at concert venues in the Netherlands and Belgium, Cappella Pratensis has performed at leading international festivals and concert series throughout Europe, North America, South America, and Japan. In 2024, the ensemble won a Gramophone Classical Music Award, perhaps the most important award for Classical Music in the world.
