Capella de la Torre / Katharina Bäuml UNA SERATA VENEXIANA

A native of Munich, Katharina Bäuml studied modern oboe, and baroque oboe and historical reed instruments, finishing both degrees with honors.  Since then she has specialized in myriad areas of early music, but her particular interest has been in wind music of the fifteenth through seventeenth centuries.  This interest led her, in 2005, to found the ensemble "Capella de la Torre," which has become the most important German ensemble for Renaissance music.  The group has produced twenty CDs, and since 2013 has recorded exclusively for Sony. In 2016 Katharine Bäuml won the ECHO Klassik award with Capella de la Torre for their CD "Water Music".  In addition to early music, her interests include contemporary music played on historical instruments, leading to numerous commissions for her ensemble "Duo Mixtura," which have been performed at such prestigious festivals as the Berlin "Ultraschall" festival, among others. 

Featuring the rarely heard music of the transition from Renaissance to Baroque, Deutsche Harmonia Mundi brings you Una Serata Venexiana (An Evening in Venice). Capella de la Torre, headed by Katharina Bäuml, received the Echo Klassik Award as “Ensemble of the Year” in 2016. This acclaimed group of musicians now spirits listeners away to 16th-century Venice, one of the most important and innovative musical capitals of its day.
