Capriccio Stravagante has further expanded their kaleidoscopic variety of sound and programming with the creation of the Capriccio Stravagante Renaissance Orchestra, including a long-awaited recording of the 1589 'Intermedii for La Pellegrina' on the Paradizo label, with the Capriccio Stravagante Renaissance Orchestra and the Collegium Vocale Gent, directed by Skip Sempe. The Capriccio Stravagante Renaissance Orchestra offers virtuoso performers on highly distinctive musical instruments whose playing techniques are completely unknown to classically trained instrumentalists and mainstream audiences. The ensemble is the largest and most luxurious gathering yet assembled for the performance of masterpieces from this Golden Age of musical creativity. The Capriccio Stravagante Renaissance Orchestra has created one of the most beautiful, opulent and memorable sounds in music today, thanks to an assembly of the finest performers on Renaissance instruments including violins, viols, recorders, cornetti, sackbuts, lutes, harps, harpsichords, virginals, organs, regals and percussion. Though in our time many think of this instrumentarium as "Baroque", these instruments had been created and perfected by 1550, and the instrumental virtuosity they demanded was already highly evolved.
