Research and Rediscovery of Early Music

Ensemble Bonne Corde, founded and directed by cellist Diana Vinagre, has been developing widely recognised work in the recovery of Baroque repertoire, with particular emphasis on Portuguese music.

(…) the presence of the instruments is immediately striking. Far more than a mere basso continuo, the Ensemble Bonne Corde asserts itself as a fully integrated protagonist, combining sonic fullness with expressive variety.

The importance of this production can hardly be overstated.

The exemplary realisation by the Ensemble Bonne Corde brings splendour and brilliance to these works.

(…) the music vibrates, and this sensation is physically conveyed to the listener. The new CD by the Bonne Corde Ensemble, under the direction of Diana Vinagre, is a clear recommendation for enthusiasts of Baroque instrumental music.

The Ensemble Bonne Corde has rescued what are probably the only surviving ‘Concerti Grossi’ by a Portuguese Baroque composer and has recorded them in an exemplary manner.

The Ensemble Bonne Corde presents a unique and enchanting repertoire in the concerti grossi of António Pereira da Costa, delivered in a highly inspired interpretation.

[Puzzi’s Missa a 4 Voce] is a recording of considerable interest, shedding light on a singular interpretative practice that has hitherto been little known. […] This disc is, without doubt, one of the discoveries of the year.
