The vocal ensemble Capriccio Armonico was founded in 2006 by Gianni Mini. It is made up of musicians and voice experts, and its focus has gradually extended from Renaissance and Baroque profane music to sacred compositions of the same period. The ensemble has performed works by Monteverdi, Antonio Caldara, Charpentier, Antonio Lotti, Antonio Vivaldi and Dietrich Buxtehude, including madrigals and motets, as well as baroque operas and oratorios. Often these performances take place in highly significant venues, such as the Salone del Cinquecento in Palazzo Vecchio (Florence).
In recent years concert engagements have increased, as has the study focus, which now also includes music from the classic, romantic and contemporary repertoires.
With the Ensemble Capriccio Armonico female choir, the group has performed Giovanni Battista Pergolesi's Stabat Mater to widespread acclaim. In 2014 the ensemble delighted audiences with its interpretation of Rossini’s Petite Messe Solennelle. In July 2014 it performed the same work and W.A. Mozart's Requiem conducted by Andrea Trovato at the Terre d’Arezzo festival, again to a standing ovation. In 2015 it performed the Mass in D major KV 194 by W.A. Mozart conducted by Mario Ruffini at the San Lorenzo Basilica in Florence, and in the course of the same year began working closely with Federico Bardazzi and Samuele Lastrucci, performing Handel’s Messiah accompanied by the Ensemble San Felice as part of the Da Vinci Baroque Festival. |
