**Angelo Ephrikian** was an Italian conductor, violinist, and musicologist of Armenian descent, born in Treviso on October 20, 1913. Known for his expertise in Italian baroque music, he specialized in reviving historical works, with his discography including Vivaldi’s *Juditha Triumphans* and Boccherini’s *La Clementina*, reflecting his dedication to early and classical repertoire. Active until his death in Rome on October 30, 1982, his legacy includes contributions as a prolific interpreter of 17th- and 18th-century compositions, often bringing lesser-known pieces to modern audiences. His family continued his artistic influence, including his daughter Laura (an actress) and son Gianni (a composer and conductor).
Though detailed personal anecdotes are scarce, his recordings—like the recently remastered *Marcello: Sinfonias Nos. 1-5* and Vivaldi’s *Le quattro stagioni*—showcase his meticulous approach to historical performance practices, blending scholarly precision with expressive musicianship.
