Concerto Italiano
Rinaldo Alessandrini (Director/Harpsichord)

Directed by harpsichordist Rinaldo Alessandrini, this virtuoso company of eight singers and instrumental ensemble has achieved new standards of excellence in the performance of Italian vocal music. The atmospheric surroundings of Greyfriars Kirk are uniquely suited to Monteverdi’s beautiful song settings.

‘Monteverdi was the father of a revolution in Western music. He was at a crossroads between vocal music, instrumental music and opera, and invented a new, far-reaching style.’ RINALDO ALESSANDRINI
