The Milanese organist and harpsichordist Fabio Bonizzoni performs regularly on the concert platforms of Italy, France and Spain.
Indeed, in Spain he is a particular favourite. La Risonanza, the group he founded in 1995, enjoys increasing popularity on the Iberian peninsula, especially since it took the 2003 Cuenca Festival by storm with its perforamces of Biber’s Rosary Sonatas.
Bonizonni’s romance with Spain began in 2000, when he started to record with Glossa a predominantly 17th and 18th century Italian keyboard music repertoire. His recordings of the music of Barbara Strozzi, Giovanni Salvatore, Francesco Geminiani, Sammartini, Bernardo Storace and Domenico Scarlatti are an eloquent expression of his informed and sensitive musical perspective.
Bonizzoni skilfully brings to his work in the ensemble his background as an experienced instrumentalist on the harpsichord and the organ. And, as he is about to explain to us, he aims to achieve still more.
In addition to all these activities, he was for some considerable time a continuo player with the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, under Ton Koopman, as well as with Jordi Savall’s Concert des Nations.
He also regularly performs with Fabio Biondi’s Europa Galante and plays the harpsichord with the vocal ensemble La Venexiana. |
