About the conductor Fabio Biondi

Fabio Biondi is one of the most important and influential figures of the Baroque period-instrument movement. Born in Palermo, he made his concerto debut with the RAI Symphony Orchestra at the age of twelve, and gave his first recital on a Baroque violin in Vienna’s Musikverein when he was sixteen. He went on to work with such distinguished groups as Musica Antiqua Wien, La Chapelle Royale, Il Seminario musicale and Les Musiciens du Louvre, before founding his own ensemble, Europa Galante, in 1990. With Biondi as soloist and director, Europa Galante’s performances and recordings of Italian Baroque music in particular rapidly established them as one of the world’s foremost original-instrument ensembles, with a distinctive Italian style. Biondi’s desire to free period performance of convention and musicological dogma has resulted in some of the most spontaneous and impassioned performances of this inexhaustible repertoire in modern times.
