Il Fondamento was founded in 1989 by Paul Dombrecht, acting also as artistic director of this orchestra. In Europe and around the world they are known for being one of the leading performers of early music playing on period instruments. Apart from representing the in16 interpretations of known baroque compositions, the ensemble shows a particular interest in performing unpublished and unknown works due to the persistent research by Dombrecht. They often perform at their concerts many fascinating works never interpreted before. They have recorded a number of CDs and obtained one of the best international reviews for Fasch’s overture, issued at Fuga Libera Label as well as numerous prestigious awards and recognitions, such as: Diapason d’Or, four stars in music LeMonde, nomination as Pizzicato’s Supersonic and the best CD of the Month by Toccata and The Early Music Review. Although the ensemble is known for wandering outside the common lanes, Il Fondamento occasionally performs the larger works by Bach and the well known Oratorios by Händel. In the recent years, they have extended their repertoire with the works of Mozart and Haydn, while they intend to add in the coming season the works of Beethoven and Schubert. Paul Dombrecht does not only distinguish himself by his deep understanding of early music. He is also a virtuoso on the modern oboe. He is a very sought for soloist in Europe regularly collaborating with other prominent musicians and baroque orchestras. He is primarily known as a “pioneer of genuine performance”. His musical approach is open and intuitive. He is conductor and artistic director of Il Fondamento as well as the Octophorus ensemble and Paul Dombrecht Consort. He performs the entire repertoire for oboe, including the works from the nineteenth and twentieth century. He has recorded many CDs for record labels such as Seon, Harmonia Mundi, Astrée,Opus 111, Accent, Vanguard, Passacaille and Fuga Libera. Dombrecht also works as professor at the Conservatoire Royal in Brussels and gives lectures elsewhere in the world. The orchestra will play well known and less known works by North German baroque composers. We will cooperate in the organization of this concert with the traditional Croatian international baroque music festival called the Varaždin Baroque Evenings. Varaždin has preserved the largest number of baroque elements in the territory of Croatia which is where the idea comes from to organize such festival, taking place in the month of September similarly as our Music September. Il Fondamento will also perform at their festival. The promotion of the orchestra will be done jointly and the festival organizers will be our guests to show us the hospitality of their city.
