The Rare Fruits Council
Created in 1997, The Rare Fruits Council has awakened the enthusiasm of the public and obtained superlative praise in critical comments all over the world: "Their music flows like a waterfall", "bursts out like firework", "boundless and bold talent of its members", "carried away by real and wild frenzy", "infinite expressiveness" are some of the qualifying adjectives and phrases that have described the performances of the group. They have played -in diverse formations- in all European countries, Asia, South and North America, and other labels, and are among the most sought after performers in the present-day European baroque scene.
The groups outstanding recording of H.I.F. Bibers cycle of suites Harmonia Artificioso-Ariosa, which was awarded a Diapason d'Or of the French critical press and the Grand Prix de l'Academie du Disque, was acclaimed unanimously by the international press as the reference-recording of this work. The name of the ensemble, an allusion to the florid, naturalistic titles of many music editions of the baroque period, also suggests an aesthetic purpose: To discover the familiar under an exotic garment, as in the riddle, or as in art, to turn into something different an already known and attractive object. To interpret the never before as if it had always been, and the always as if never ever before.
