Founded in Budapest in 1991, the Hungarian ensemble Orfeo Orchestra, named after Claudio Monteverdi's opera, specializes in early and baroque music performed on period instruments. Accompanied by the Purcell Choir vocal ensemble, the group, founded and directed by conductor György Vashegyi, has enjoyed international success on tour and on disc, with recordings of sacred music by Franz Tunder, Michael Haydn and Francesco Bartolomeo Conti, and operas by Mondoville, Gervais, Rameau(Naïs and Les Indes galantes), Montéclair and Lemoyne. Whether in appearances at the Haydn Festival in Budapest or on disc, the orchestra gives pride of place to the work of composer Michael Haydn (1737-1806).
