Il Complesso Barocco was an esteemed early music ensemble that specialized in the performance of Baroque opera and orchestral works, particularly those of Handel and Vivaldi. Founded in 1979 by the renowned harpsichordist and conductor Alan Curtis, Il Complesso Barocco earned a reputation for its rigorous approach to historical performance practice and its role in resurrecting and presenting lesser-known operatic gems alongside celebrated masterpieces. The group collaborated with leading vocal soloists in the field of early music, contributing to the revival of Baroque opera in modern times.
Il Complesso Barocco's discography bears witness to their expansive exploration of Baroque repertoire, with critically acclaimed recordings such as Vivaldi's "Catone in Utica" and multiple works by Handel, including "Giulio Cesare," "Alcina," and "Rodelinda," to name a few. Their interpretations were often lauded for their musicality, attention to detail, and the authenticity of their performances. By the time of Alan Curtis's passing in 2015, Il Complesso Barocco had firmly established itself as a pillar of Baroque music interpretation, leaving behind a legacy of numerous recordings that continue to be cherished by enthusiasts of early music.
