L'Arpeggiata, founded in 2000 by Austrian harpist, luthist and theorbo player Christina Pluhar, assembled a multinational ensemble of vocal and instrumental specialists to explore early music and traditional repertoire. The group’s debut recordings appeared in 2002 with Landi: Homo Fugit Velut Umbra… and La Tarantella – Antidotum Tarantulae, followed by All'Improviso – Ciaccone, Bergamasche, & Un Po' Di Follie (2004), and Cavalieri: Rappresentatione di Anima, et Di Corpo (2004), establishing its experimental approach. Subsequent releases such as Monteverdi: Teatro d'Amore (2009), Via Crucis (2010) with Núria Rial and Philippe Jaroussky and Monteverdi: Vespro della Beata Vergine (2011) and Los Pájaros Perdidos – The South American Project (2012) expanded its collaborative network. The 2013 Mediterraneo and 2014 Music for a While – Improvisations on Henry Purcell continued cross‑cultural projects. Other releases include Caccini: Amor Che Fai? (2005), Vêpres sous Charles VI à Vienne (2009), Orfeo Chamán (2016), Händel Goes Wild - Improvisations on G.F. Händel (2017), Himmelsmusik (2018), Rossi: La Lyra d'Orfeo & Arpa Davidica (2019), and Alla Napoletana (2021). The ensemble earned Diapason and Monde de la Musique awards and maintained a robust touring schedule across European festivals. After the releases of Wonder Women in 2024 and Terra Mater in 2025, the ensemble followed with La Torre del Oro (2026), which explores the musical cross-currents flowing between Spain and Central and South America since the 1500s.
