Even more than Antonio Bertali (1605-1669), Samuel Capricornus (1628-1665) belongs to composers of the 17th century, whose oeuvre is barely or only little discographically accessible. The Capricornus Ensemble Stuttgart takes care of his works and shows that the music of the Stuttgarter Hofkapellmeister (Capricornus) can easily cope with that of the Viennese Hofkapellmeister (Bertali). The Capricornus Ensemble Stuttgart is named after the Stuttgart chamber music director Samuel Capricornus. It is an international ensemble founded by the Stuttgart trumpet professor Henning Wiegrabe. The focus of the ensemble is to present treasures of the Renaissance and Baroque eras.
