Accademia Bizantina, founded in 1983 in Ravenna, Italy, is a baroque orchestra that has garnered international acclaim for its authentic and vibrant performances of 17th and 18th-century music. The ensemble is particularly noted for its vital interpretations of Baroque composers, and the musicians play on period instruments with a historically informed approach. The orchestra is often under the artistic direction of harpsichordist and conductor Ottavio Dantone, who has been at the helm since 1996. Dantone's leadership has nurtured an environment where rigorous scholarly research meets a passionate and energetic execution of the works, offering audiences a fresh and evocative listening experience.
Over the years, Accademia Bizantina has extensively delved into the oeuvres of renowned Baroque masters, as evidenced by their most recent releases featuring the works of Corelli, Handel, and Vivaldi. Their discography boasts accomplished recordings such as the critically acclaimed "Corelli: Concerti Grossi, Op. 6" and the dramatic renditions of Handel's "Concerti Grossi, Op. 3" and "Op. 6," as well as operatic explorations like "Serse, HWV 40." Their passion for Italian opera is further reflected in their interpretations of lesser-performed masterpieces, including the operas "Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria, SV 325 (Live)" by Monteverdi, "Cesti: La Dori," and multiple recordings of "Il Tamerlano (Il Bajazet)." With their meticulous approach and unwavering dedication to performance excellence, Accademia Bizantina continues to be a leading force in the interpretation of Baroque music on the world stage.
