Although Rolf Lislevand established his credentials in the 20th century as a gifted and fairly traditional Baroque guitarist and lutenist, in the early 2020s, he has tended to avoid presenting the music he performs authentically, asserting that to reproduce the music the way it was originally heard, and intended to be heard, is not actually possible. He has thus attempted to give Baroque compositions a 21st century sound, often imparting a modern or even jazzy character to the music. He is the founder and director of Ensemble Kapsberger and has spent a considerable amount of his career as a member of Jordi Savall's ensembles. Lislevand's 2006 album, Nuove Musiche, achieved great success, both with critics and the public. La Mascarade was his first solo recording for the ECM label. In 2020, Lislevand joined Philippe Pierlot, Lucile Boulanger, and Myriam Rignol on the album Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe et ses filles.
Rolf Lislevand has also released music as a member of The Rare Fruits Council, Ensemble Kapsberger, and Hèsperion XXI.
