Musica antiqua Praha – the unique and eternal mysticism of Baroque music
When musician and musicologist Pavel Klikar founded his new ensemble, the Musica antiqua Praha, in 1982, it was truly a revelation and a breath of fresh air in the stale atmosphere.
The ensemble was inspired by encounters with important music figures, such as Reinhard Goebel, Christopher Hogwood, Peter Holman and Andrew Parrott.
Musica antiqua Praha recorded five albums for Supraphon with repertoire ranging from the Italian Early Baroque (Grandi, Legrenzi) to the unique treasures preserved at the Kroměříž Archbishop’s Archive to sweet and poetic Christmas songs from Czech Baroque hymn books.
