L'arpa Festante - Johann Christoph Pez- Duplex Genius (2024) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

L'arpa festante was founded in Munich in 1983 by a group of musicians around the violinist Michi Gaigg, who also directed it until 1995. The ensemble borrowed its name from the dramatic cantata of the same name by Giovanni Battista Maccioni († c. 1678), which was performed in 1653 for the inauguration of the Munich Opera. L'arpa festante performs in changing ensembles, often with choirs or vocal soloists, using historical instruments.

After the main focus of the ensemble's work was initially on the rediscovery and performance of unknown works of the 17th and 18th centuries, the oratorical and symphonic repertoire of the Romantic period has been increasingly coming to the fore in recent years. Depending on the musical needs of the works performed, arrangements from the solo concertino line-up to the full orchestra size of over 50 musicians are possible.

L'arpa festante has been led by Christoph Hesse (concertmaster, organization) in the second generation since 1995.
