Rinaldo Alessandrini

Rinaldo Alessandrini is the sort of artist I have deep reverence for. A Roman born in 1960, he became a virtuoso across harpsichord, fortepiano, and organ, and then founded Concerto Italiano to breathe life back into Monteverdi, Vivaldi, Bach, and the early Italian operatic repertoire. What fascinates me most is that he reportedly didn't begin piano until around fourteen, which makes his standing as a foremost interpreter of Baroque music all the more remarkable. That late start speaks to obsession more than precocity. I'm always moved by the scholar-performers who resurrect old music with fresh conviction, and Alessandrini is a genuine master of that craft.
