Alberto Rasi is an Italian early music specialist whose work breathes fresh life into Baroque and Renaissance treasures. As a versatile musician, he wears multiple hats as a viola da gamba player, conductor, and director of ensembles like Accademia degli Astrusi and Ensemble Cordia. His recordings reveal a passion for meticulously researched performances, whether he’s unearthing 17th-century Italian madrigals, reimagining Bach’s intricate counterpoint, or collaborating on fiery interpretations of Vivaldi’s *Four Seasons*. Rasi’s projects often spotlight lesser-known composers like Evaristo Felice Dall’Abaco alongside heavyweights like Rameau, blending scholarly rigor with vibrant expressiveness. His discography—spanning intimate chamber works to orchestral concertos—showcases his dedication to making centuries-old music feel thrillingly present, all while championing period instruments and historical performance practices.
