Filippo Maria Bressan is an Italian conductor and early music specialist renowned for his meticulous revivals of Baroque and Renaissance sacred works. Based in Venice, he’s best known as the artistic director of the ensemble *Academia de li Musici*, where he brings forgotten liturgical masterpieces to life with historically informed performances. His recordings often spotlight Venetian composers like Claudio Monteverdi, Alessandro Marcello, and lesser-known figures such as Francesco Corteccia, blending scholarly rigor with lush, vibrant interpretations.
Recent projects like *Marcello: Requiem In The Venetian Manner* and *Palestrina: Lamentazioni per la Settimana Santa* showcase his knack for balancing dramatic intensity with the meditative grace of sacred music. Bressan’s work—including adventurous digs into obscure repertoire like *Calegari: The Raising Of Lazarus*—has cemented him as a passionate champion of Italy’s choral heritage, dusting off centuries-old scores for modern ears. Whether leading sumptuous polyphony or intimate motets, his approach feels both reverent and freshly alive.
