Alfredo Bernardini is an Italian-born oboist, conductor, and early music specialist who’s spent decades bringing Baroque compositions to life with fiery authenticity. Known for his work on historical oboes and directing ensembles like Zefiro and the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, he’s a key figure in the historically informed performance scene. Bernardini studied at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and later taught at conservatories in Spain and Italy, nurturing a new generation of period-instrument players. His recordings—like the vibrant *Bach: The Brandenburg Concertos* or the dramatic *Fux: La corona d’Arianna*—showcase his knack for balancing scholarly precision with playful energy. Whether leading a live performance of *Michael Haydn: Symphony 28* in historic Italian venues or unearthing overlooked gems like Dreyer’s oboe sonatas, he turns every project into a lively conversation between past and present.
