| Ensemble Guidantus is a small chamber group formed in 1995 out of the homonymous orchestra and it plays a lively part in the Italian music scene. The sparkling and polished performances combine mastery of the score with a clear and individual interpretation, the result of a decade of aesthetic and philological study.
|
| Continuously seeking new musical suggestion, Ensemble’s repertoire covers all the works of Vivaldi, particularly unpublished or rarely performed pieces, as well as other celebrated Seventeenth- and Eighteenth-century composers such as Arcangelo Corelli, Benedetto Marcello, Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, Domenico Scarlatti, Domenico Cimarosa.
|
The group’s recording of A. Vivaldi’s FOUR SEASONS was greeted favourably by critics both in Italy and worldwide (Musica, La Repubblica, RARE RECORDINGS REVIEW, Compact Classica).
|
| The group has also released 2 CDs of A. Vivaldi’s works under the Real Sound label: the first contains the concerti written by the “Red Priest” for German violinist J.G. Pisendel while the second includes several works that had never previously been recorded. Both CDs were enclosed in the Baroque music magazine Orfeo. |
