In Timeless, Tarquino Merula’s and Philip Glass’ compositions are cleverly juxtaposed. The Compagney’s recording of this work won the prestigious 2010 Echo Klassik Ensemble of the Year award (the German equivalent of the Grammys).

Lautten Compagney will also be presenting Handel with Care as part of the 2011 Festival programme.

Lautten Compagney Berlin celebrated their 25th anniversary in 2009 and were founded by lutenists Wolfgang Katschner and Hans-Werner Apel. The ensemble's uninhibited and infectious delight in music-making ensures spirited entertainment and sensual pleasure for audiences.Take this rare opportunity to delight in one of the world's most outstanding period instrument ensembles.

“[These musicians]... not only perform early music in its diversity and vitality but also know how to add the fresh colour of improvised elements to a pristine sound experience.”
