Ensemble Ricreation d’Arcadia was formed by four leading Japanese musicians who regularly play with several baroque ensembles and orchestras in both Europe and Japan. The group’s aim is to explore the diverse instrumental and vocal music of the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly focusing on the vast repertoire for the “trio sonata”. In 2004 they won the first prize at “Premio Bonporti” (President of Jury: Gustav Leonhardt) and also received the Audience prize and ORF recording prize.
