Le Trio di Bassetto is a classical music ensemble that was founded in 2005. The group is made up of three main members: clarinetist Alessandro Carbonare, bassoonist Sergio Azzolini, and harpsichordist Andrea Marcon. The ensemble is known for its unique sound and its ability to bring new life to classical music. The trio was founded when Carbonare and Azzolini met while playing in the Orchestra Mozart in Bologna, Italy. They quickly realized that they shared a passion for chamber music and decided to form a trio. They invited Marcon to join them, and Le Trio di Bassetto was born. The ensemble takes its name from the bassetto, a type of bassoon that was popular in the Baroque era. The bassetto has a unique sound that is different from the modern bassoon, and the trio wanted to pay homage to this instrument by including it in their name. Le Trio di Bassetto has performed all over the world, including in Europe, Asia, and North America. They have played in some of the most prestigious concert halls in the world, including Carnegie Hall in New York City and the Royal Albert Hall in London. One of the highlights of the trio's career was their performance at the Salzburg Festival in 2010. They were invited to perform as part of the festival's chamber music series, and their performance was met with critical acclaim. The trio was praised for their technical skill and their ability to bring new life to classical music. In addition to their performances, Le Trio di Bassetto has also won several awards. They were awarded the Echo Klassik award in 2012 for their album "Bach: Triosonatas," which was praised for its innovative interpretation of Bach's music. The trio was also awarded the Diapason d'Or award in 2014 for their album "Mozart: Divertimenti," which was praised for its technical skill and its ability to capture the spirit of Mozart's music. Le Trio di Bassetto is known for their innovative interpretations of classical music. They are not afraid to take risks and experiment with different styles and techniques. This has earned them a reputation as one of the most exciting and dynamic classical music ensembles in the world. Despite their success, the members of Le Trio di Bassetto remain humble and dedicated to their craft.
