Le Tendre Amour
Taking its name from a prevalent theme of the age of Louis XIV, Le Tendre Amour is a group of musicians who have been drawn together by their common dedication to performing music of the late 17th and early 18th c. in a way that is inspiring to the audiences of today. Period instruments, a creative selection of repertoire, and timeless musicality combine to convey the spirit and emotion of music of unparalleled beauty. The ensemble is based in Barcelona, though its members originate from different countries. In its short existence, they have performed at early music festivals in France, Spain, Hungary, Austria, Germany. Their debut CD Le Passage de la Mer Rouge was released under the label K617, featuring a unique collection of French sacred cantata repertoire and in March 2012 a new CD of English music called All in a Garden Green for the label Brillant Classics (Holland) was also released. Since 2007 the group has enjoyed the status of ensemble in residence at the SEVIQC Brezice Festival in Slovenia with performances of Jewish Baroque music, and in 2008 Le Tendre Amour was awarded the prize for best interpretation with this repertoire at the Varazdin Baroque Evenings Festival, Croatia.
