The name of the vocal ensemble Cinquecento refers to the 16th century in Italian, and true to the name, Cinquecento has focused on the music of that time. The group has pursued a special focus on the court vocal ensembles of the period. Cinquecento was formed in 2004. It has been based in Vienna, but its five members -- Achim Schulz, Terry Wey, Tim Scott Whiteley, Tore Tom Denys, and Ulfried Staber -- all come from different countries. The group's albums have won major awards, and many have contained performances of neglected music from the Hapsburg court and its many close relatives around Europe. Cinquecento issued and album devoted to the composer Ludwig Daser in 2023. By that time, Cinquecento's recording catalog comprised some 15 items.
