San Petronio Cappella Musicale Soloists

The San Petronio Cappella Musicale Soloists are an ensemble drawn from the renowned Cappella Musicale di San Petronio, the historic musical institution of the Basilica of San Petronio in Bologna, Italy. This basilica boasts a centuries-long tradition of musical excellence, and the Soloists continue that legacy by performing a wide range of sacred music, particularly focusing on works from the Italian Baroque period and earlier. Their recordings often feature composers associated with San Petronio, like Maurizio Cazzati and Giacomo Antonio Perti, as well as iconic figures such as Palestrina. They are known for their historically informed performance practices, bringing a vibrant and authentic sound to these masterpieces.

The Soloists' dedication to exploring the rich musical heritage of San Petronio is evident in their "Lamenti Barocchi" series, which showcases the beauty and emotional depth of Baroque laments. They also delve into the vast repertoire of Renaissance polyphony and other sacred works, offering listeners a glimpse into the diverse musical landscape of the past. By performing with both technical brilliance and expressive sensitivity, the San Petronio Cappella Musicale Soloists ensure that this rich musical tradition continues to resonate with audiences today.
