Adrian Chandler is a distinguished English violinist and conductor, renowned for his deep exploration and performance of Baroque and early Classical music. An expert in historically informed performance practice, Chandler has made significant contributions to the revival and reinterpretation of 17th and 18th-century compositions. As the founder and director of La Serenissima, a Baroque ensemble established in 1994, he has spearheaded numerous critically acclaimed recordings and performances that bring to life the richness and diversity of Baroque music. The ensemble is particularly celebrated for its interpretations of Vivaldi's works, among other composers.
Through his discography, Chandler has ventured into the compositions of lesser-known composers like Giuseppe Tartini, as seen in "Diavolo": Giuseppe Tartini - 6 Violin Sonatas, and Brescianello, with releases like "Unlocked, Brescianello Vol. 2," shedding light on the intricate and oft-overlooked repertoires of the Baroque era. His dedication to authenticity and passion for early music not only enriches the listener's experience but also contributes to the academic discourse surrounding historical performance practices. Chandler's work with La Serenissima and his solo performances are significant in perpetuating the vibrancy and relevance of Baroque music in the contemporary classical music scene.
