Paul Dombrecht is associated with original-instrument performances of repertory from the Baroque era. He began as a virtuoso oboist but in the late-1980s developed a parallel career as a conductor. Often, Dombrecht appears in concert with the ensemble he founded, Il Fondamento, as well as other ensembles, both as soloist and conductor. Although oboist Dombrecht has focused largely on Baroque music, his repertory includes many works from the 19th and 20th centuries. As conductor, Dombrecht has devoted most programs to Baroque music, including often forgotten Baroque works by the likes of Zelenka, Fasch, Thomas Vincent, William Babell and many others—but he has also extended his purview to include works from the Classical period, particularly a number by Haydn and Mozart. Dombrecht has been prolific in the recording studio, with more than 40 titles to his credit spread over several labels that include Harmonia Mundi, Astree, Seon, Vanguard, Opus 111, Sony, Erato, Accent, Fugo Libera and Passacaille.
