La Serenissima

La Serenissima is a renowned British ensemble highly regarded for its expert performances and recordings of Venetian Baroque music, although their repertoire expands to a broader Baroque spectrum. Founded by violinist Adrian Chandler in 1994, the group was named after the appellation "la serenissima," a term that refers to the "most serene" Republic of Venice. Specializing in the works of Antonio Vivaldi and his contemporaries, La Serenissima aims to bring to life the sounds of 17th and 18th century Italy through meticulous research, virtuosic playing, and a vibrant approach to historical performance.

Their discography, exemplified by albums such as "An Englishman Abroad" and thematic releases like "Vivaldi's Women," highlights their dedication to telling musical stories and uncovering lesser-known works alongside celebrated classics. The ensemble's strong focus on authenticity, coupled with dynamic playing, has won them critical acclaim and a dedicated following. Their recent release "Unlocked, Brescianello Vol. 2" continues to exhibit their passion for unearthing and showcasing the rich tapestry of Italian Baroque music, proving that La Serenissima is at the forefront of historical music performance today.
