| Marcel Ponseele is generally considered one of the foremost Baroque oboists of his time: conductor Philippe Herreweghe has called him the finest Baroque oboist in the world. Ponseele is also a conductor of international renown. Like many talented instrumentalists from the latter half of the 20th century, he often conducts while performing as soloist in concert. He has made numerous recordings with Il Gardellino in these dual roles, particularly in the music of J.S. Bach. Ponseele's repertoire  extends not only to other Baroque icons, like Antonio Vivaldi, Georg Frideric Handel, and Georg Philipp Telemann, but to lesser known figures like Johann Gottlieb Graun, Christoph Schaffrath, Ernst Eichner, and many others.
Marcel Ponseele is internationally known as Baroque specialist, and is often invited as a soloist to perform with great orchestra's or to participate on different recordings. Together with Jan De Winne and Shalev Ad-El, he founded in 1988 the Baroque ensemble Il Gardellino, of which he's the artistic leader. Over the years he has become strongly identified with the group. |
