„A passion for regional music history and cosmopolitanism are not mutually exclusive“
This is the motto of the Hamburg Baroque Orchestra Elbipolis. Under the direction of concertmaster Jürgen Groß, the orchestra is accompanied by the duo GlossArte, two soloists who are praised for their musical sensitivity and scientific meticulousness.
„The extensive study of historical performance practice (…) can be seen in many details, which are executed with meticulous care without interrupting the phrasing, the dramatic tension and the musical flow“
