Dutch period instruments Baroque ensemble founded in 1954 by Gustav Leonhardt, his wife Marie Leonhardt and Kees Otten. When the latter left in 1957, the group transformed from a chamber music ensemble to a five-part string band with harpsichord, which resulted in a changing repertoire. The Consort got signed with Telefunken in 1961 but ceased to exist as a performing group in 1972. However, the members would occasionally join for special recording projects in the years hereafter.
