Biography

Musickes Delight


is an Early Music ensemble formed by Lobke Sprenkeling, recorders/mezzosoprano; Victoria Cassano, mezzosoprano, Óscar Gallego, viola da gamba; Ramiro Morales, historical plucked string instruments; and Jorge López-Escribano, harpsichord/organ.
The ensemble, with its base in Madrid, focuses on the interpretation of music from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, an intriguing transition from the Renaissance in its different national schools through the Italian seicento and the most intimate styles of French and English music. The ensemble consists of recorder, voice, viola da gamba, keyboards, offering different combinations for its various programs. Its members are musicians with extensive training and experience in the field of Early Music internationally. The ensemble was born as a result of a common ideal in the conception of music: historical interpretation should not be a dogma but an approach from which Renaissance and Baroque music reaches its greatest expressive potential. The programs of Musickes Delight depart from a main idea, which serves as a guiding and integrating thread, providing the whole concert a sense of unity. The result is an attractive concert that maintains at all times the utmost respect for the quality of the music that is performed. Musickes Delight has performed at several music festivals and venues, among which CaixaForum Madrid.
