About

Harnoncourt began his professional life in Vienna as a cellist in the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, he became fascinated at the same time by music that antedated the core Symphonic repertoire he played from day to day. Having already established a successful solo career as an expert player on the cello’s ancestor, the Viola da Gamba, he co-founded the period-instrument ensemble Concentus musicus Wien in 1953.

Harnoncourt’s reputation as an indefatigable explorer and performer of 17th Century and 18th Century music, as a gambist, as a Baroque cellist, and later as a conductor grew rapidly. Harnoncourt is truly a master of his art.

“…Nikolaus Harnoncourt remains one of the most probing of today’s master conductors…” (“Editor’s Choice”, Gramophone)

"The sound of this great orchestra playing Mozart with chaste, period decorum and stunning technical clarity under this most painstaking and enlightened of authenticists is never less than revelatory." (Michael Jameson, BBC Music Magazine)
