Sonatori de la Gioiosa Marca is a classical music ensemble that was founded in 1981 in Treviso, Italy. The group is known for its performances of Baroque and early classical music, and has gained a reputation for its virtuosic playing and innovative interpretations of historical repertoire. The ensemble was founded by a group of young musicians who were passionate about early music and wanted to explore the rich musical traditions of the Baroque era. The founding members included violinist Andrea Marcon, cellist Paolo Beschi, and harpsichordist Alberto Busettini, who would go on to become some of the most prominent figures in the early music world. From the beginning, Sonatori de la Gioiosa Marca was committed to performing on period instruments and using historically informed performance practices. This approach allowed the group to bring a fresh perspective to the music of the Baroque era, and to create performances that were both historically accurate and musically engaging. Over the years, the ensemble has expanded to include a range of other instruments, including viola da gamba, recorder, and lute. The group's core members have remained the same, however, and their close collaboration and deep understanding of each other's playing styles has helped to create a unique and cohesive sound. One of the highlights of Sonatori de la Gioiosa Marca's career was their performance at the 1986 Festival Oude Muziek in Utrecht, the Netherlands. This prestigious festival is one of the most important events in the early music world, and the ensemble's performance was widely praised for its energy, precision, and musicality. Since then, the group has gone on to perform at many other major festivals and concert halls around the world, including the Salzburg Festival, the Edinburgh International Festival, and the Lincoln Center in New York. They have also recorded extensively, with over 30 albums to their name, many of which have received critical acclaim and won awards. One of the group's most notable recordings is their 1995 album "Concerti per la Pietà," which features music by Antonio Vivaldi. This album was praised for its lively and expressive performances, and won the prestigious Diapason d'Or award. Another highlight of the group's career was their performance at the 2006 Proms in London, where they played a program of music by Johann Sebastian Bach. This performance was widely praised for its technical brilliance and emotional depth, and cemented the group's reputation as one of the leading ensembles in the early music world. Throughout their career, Sonatori de la Gioiosa Marca has remained committed to exploring the rich musical traditions of the Baroque era, and to bringing this music to audiences around the world. Their innovative and passionate performances have won them many fans and admirers, and they continue to be one of the most important and influential ensembles in the early music world today.
