Tommaso Rossi is an Italian flautist and recorder virtuoso who’s carved out a niche as a passionate interpreter of Baroque and early classical music. Specializing in historical performance practices, he breathes fresh life into works by composers like Handel, Telemann, and Alessandro Scarlatti, often spotlighting lesser-known gems from 18th-century Italy. His recordings, such as *Handel: Flute Sonatas* and *Il soffio di Partenope*, showcase his knack for blending technical precision with expressive warmth, whether he’s navigating Telemann’s intricate solo fantasias or the playful dialogues of Neapolitan woodwind music.
A champion of underappreciated repertoire, Rossi’s projects like *Bravade! Ovvero delle metamorfosi* and Giuseppe Sammartini’s trio sonatas reveal his curiosity for untangling the stories behind the scores. His collaborations and solo work often highlight the recorder’s versatility, proving the instrument’s relevance far beyond its “schoolroom” reputation. With releases like *Robert Valentine: Un inglese a Roma*, Rossi not only honors the past but invites modern listeners to geek out over the quirks and drama of early music.
