Marco Longhini is an Italian conductor specializing in Renaissance and Baroque music, particularly known for his interpretations of Italian madrigals. He frequently collaborates with the vocal ensemble Delitiae Musicae, which he founded, and their recordings have garnered critical acclaim for their vibrant performances and insightful approach to this repertoire. As you can see from his recent releases, Longhini has a particular affinity for the works of Claudio Monteverdi and Carlo Gesualdo, exploring the dramatic and expressive depths of their complex madrigals.
He also champions lesser-known composers of the period, such as Adriano Banchieri, bringing their fascinating music to a wider audience. Longhini's recordings often shed new light on these historical works, revealing the beauty and ingenuity of early music performance practice.
