La Nuova Musica was formed by the countertenor David Bates who is joined by some of Europe's most talented Baroque music specialists. It is a chamber music ensemble that performs vocal and instrumental works of the XVII and XVIII centuries. The group's repertoire ranges from Monteverdi to Purcell and Bach to Couperin, always performing with solo voices and single period instruments. The group is flexible in number and at its smallest performs recitals with just one voice and continuo, expanding to perform Handel's Messiah with a total of 16 singers and players. La Nuova Musica is equally committed to live performance and the art of recording. The group has recorded works by Caccini, Monteverdi, Handel, Purcell and Blow. A disc of cantatas and motets by Telemann and J.S. Bach is planned for 2008.
