Formed in 1997 by its founder and artistic director Andrea Marcon, the Venice Baroque Orchestra has established itself as one of the premier ensembles devoted to period instrument performance. The ensemble is known for its interpretations of Baroque masterpieces, having a special affinity with the music of Vivaldi, which reverberates with the rich cultural tapestry of their home city, Venice.
The Venice Baroque Orchestra boasts a robust discography that highlights their versatility and exceptional skill. Recent releases such as "Duello d’archi a Venezia" showcase the dramatic tension and interplay between string soloists, while albums like "Vivaldi: Concerto for 2 Mandolins in G Major" exemplify their deft handling of Vivaldi's Venetian grace. Projects like "Farinelli - Porpora Arias" and "rosso - italian baroque arias" display the orchestra’s seamless collaboration with vocalists, and the critically acclaimed "L'Olimpiade" presents the rich texture of a full Vivaldian opera. Their interpretations faithfully evoke the spirit of the Baroque era, making each performance not just a concert but a journey through the history of music.
