Lucie Skeaping visits southwestern Germany to meet members of the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra.

The orchestra was founded in the mid 1980s by a group of musicians who had studied at the university and wanted to continue their tradition of period instrument performance.

Since then, Freiburg Baroque has developed a reputation as one of the world's leading early music ensembles, with monthly performances at their recently built home - the Freiburger Konzerthaus - and a touring schedule which has taken them as far afield as the USA, Canada, New Zealand, Peru, Argentina, Japan and South Korea.

The orchestra is still run in a very democratic way, with all of the players contributing to its musical development by suggesting new ideas and methods of playing.

Lucie is given a guided tour of the Freiburg's musical heritage by the ensemble's artistic director, Hans-Georg Kaiser, as well as talking to one of Freiburg Baroque's longest-serving members - oboist Katharina Arfken, and the soprano Carolyn Sampson, who has recently made her home in the city.

The music comes from Freiburg Baroque's extensive discography, and includes works by J.S.

Bach, Zelenka, Mozart, Bertali, C.P.E.

Bach and Haydn.
