Concerto Vocale

Concerto Vocale was founded in Amsterdam in 1977 by the Belgian countertenor and conductor René Jacobs, with Judith Nelson appearing on the first solo recordings.

In later years the vocal ensemble has included sopranos María Cristina Kiehr, and Martina Bovet, countertenor Andreas Scholl, tenors Gerd Türk and Matthias Widmaier [de], baritones Martin Hummel [de] and Andreas Lebeda [de], and basses Ulrich Messthaler and Franz-Josef Selig.

It is complemented by an instrumental ensemble including, among others, Jean Tubéry, William Dongois and Gottfried Bach.
