Europa Galante

Europa Galante is a preeminent Italian baroque ensemble renowned for its dynamic and historically informed performances of music from the 17th and 18th centuries. Founded in 1990 by violinist and conductor Fabio Biondi, who sought to infuse the rigor of authentic period performance with the expressive and vibrant Italian string tradition, Europa Galante quickly garnered international acclaim. The ensemble's members are distinguished soloists who collaborate to explore and interpret baroque and classical works with fresh vitality.

Over the years, Europa Galante has released a significant number of recordings, focusing chiefly on the works of Vivaldi and other illustrious composers of the time. They have delved into Vivaldi's extensive repertoire with albums like "Vivaldi: Concerti per violino XI 'Per Anna Maria'," showcasing their mastery of the composer's vivid and virtuosic violin concertos. In addition to their dedication to Vivaldi's music, as evidenced by releases such as "Vivaldi: Largo from Violin Concerto RV 207" and "Vivaldi: Allegro from Violin Concerto RV 229," the group has ventured into the operatic realm with critically acclaimed recordings of works like Stanisław Moniuszko's operas "Verbum nobile" and "Hrabina," as well as Verdi's "Il Corsaro" and "Macbeth." Their commitment to reintroducing lesser-known baroque works is apparent in their recording of Carlo Monza quartets, further establishing Europa Galante's reputation as torchbearers of baroque excellence. With Fabio Biondi's leadership and the ensemble's vibrant interpretation of historic works, Europa Galante continues to shape the landscape of classical music performance in the modern era.
