Rinaldo Alessandrini

Biography

In addition to his activities as Founder-Director of Concerto Italiano, Rinaldo Alessandrini is renowned as a conductor and recitalist on the harpsichord, fortepiano and organ. He is considered one of the world’s most authoritative interpreters of Monteverdi, and has a profound knowledge and love of the Italian repertoire naturally reflected in programmes reproducing the essential, but often elusive, expressive and cantabile elements so fundamental to Italian music of the 17th and 18th centuries.
