Il Suonar Parlante Orchestra

**Il Suonar Parlante Orchestra** is a vibrant ensemble specializing in historically informed performances of Baroque and Renaissance music, often with a theatrical twist. Led by acclaimed viola da gamba virtuoso and conductor Vittorio Ghielmi, the group brings a fresh energy to early music by blending meticulous period instrumentation with bold, narrative-driven interpretations. Their recent releases, like *Le secret de Monsieur Marais* and *Alcione: Tempeste*, showcase their knack for reviving forgotten gems from composers like Marin Marais, while *Gypsy Baroque* and *Barbarian Beauty* highlight their adventurous spirit in exploring cross-cultural influences and spotlighting lesser-known instruments like the viola da gamba.

Known for their dynamic live performances and genre-blurring projects, Il Suonar Parlante bridges the gap between scholarly precision and modern storytelling. Whether they’re unpacking the drama of 17th-century operas or reimagining folk-inspired Baroque works, this orchestra turns centuries-old compositions into vivid, immersive experiences. Perfect for both early music purists and curious newcomers!
