Artista biografía The Sixteen / Harry Christophers After three decades of world-wide performance and recording, The Sixteen is recognised as one of the world's greatest ensembles. The Sixteen's total commitment to the music it performs is its greatest distinction. Its special reputation for performing early English polyphony, masterpieces of the Renaissance, bringing fresh insights into Baroque and early Classical music and a diversity of twentieth century music is drawn from the passions of conductor and founder, Harry Christophers. The Sixteen tours throughout the UK, Europe, Japan, Australia and the Americas and has given regular performances at major concert halls and festivals worldwide. The vigour and passion of its performance win new fans wherever it performs. Over one hundred recordings reflect The Sixteen's quality in a range of work spanning the music of five hundred years, winning many awards including Grand Prix du Disque, numerous Schallplattenkritik, the coveted Gramophone Award for Early Music, the prestigious Classical Brit Award in 2005 for Renaissance and most recently being nominated for a Grammy Award and two Classical Brits for IKON. These latter two discs were recorded as part of the group's contract with Universal Classics and Jazz. Since 2001, The Sixteen has been building its own record label, CORO, with recordings including Allegri's Miserere, Tallis's Spem in alium, Brahms's German Requiem, Bach's Mass in B Minor, the entire Eton Choirbook and Fauré's Requiem with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields. The Academy of St Martin in the Fields The Academy of St Martin in the Fields was formed in 1958 as a small, conductorless chamber ensemble. Led by Neville Marriner and attracting some of the finest players in London, the orchestra at first concentrated on repertoire from the Baroque era, developing a style of performance that launched the 1960's Baroque revival. The Academy was so named after the various concert-giving societies or `Academies' that had flourished in 18th century London and the famous church in which it gave its first concert on 13 November 1959. Only two years later it had secured its first recording contract, with the independent L'Oiseau-Lyre label. This was to be the beginning of a literally record-breaking discography that now boasts well over 500 entries, making the Academy the most recorded chamber orchestra in the world. The Academy is particularly well-known for its Mozart recordings with Sir Neville Marriner including the multi award winning soundtrack to the film `Amadeus'. Thanks to its huge catalogue and widespread radio coverage, the Academy's name has become familiar to audiences across the globe. Alongside its performances with Life President Sir Neville Marriner and Director Kenneth Sillito the Academy now collaborates with a number of guest directors including Murray Perahia, Joshua Bell, Gil Shaham, Anthony Marwood, Julia Fischer and Julian Rachlin. The orchestra maintains a busy schedule of international touring alongside its concerts and outreach work in the UK and is a regular visitor to concert halls across Europe and the USA. Ver más
