The Huelgas Ensemble was founded by Paul Van Nevel in 1970 at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, Basle; it was named after a Cistercian monastery near Burgos. Initially it specialized in contemporary music but soon concentrated on the music of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, drawing closely on primary sources and making a vital contribution to the study of early music through its published research. The ensemble presents a surprising programme, with often unknown works from composers like Nicolas Gombert, Claude Le jeune, Johannes Ciconia, Pierre de Manchicourt...
The Ensemble’s performances are informed by a profound understanding of medieval and Renaissance vocal techniques and practices. It has made more than 50 recordings for a.o. Sony and Harmonia Mundi and its many awards include the Belgian music press’s Caecilia Price, Le Monde de la Musique’s Choc de l’Année, an Edison Award, the Cannes Classical Award and the ‘Prix in honorem’ of the Académie Charles Cros.
