Accademia Bizantina – Handel: Serse, HWV 40 (2022) [FLAC 24bit, 88,2 kHz]
Xerxes-live recording is the second release of HDB Sonus with Ottavio Dantone and Accademia Bizantina.
At the peak of his operatic career, HD
With a look at the structures of the seventeenth-century opera, HN
A drama for music that differs from the typical operatic production of the 30s of the Eighteenth Century: Arias in all kinds of forms, airy, recitative inserted in the ARIAs, loves, jealousies, betrayals, all seasoned with an unusual comic element.

Accademia Bizantina – Corelli: Concerto Grosso in C Major, Op. 6 No. 10 (2023) [FLAC 24 bit, 88,2 kHz]
Accademia Bizantina is the name of a purpose, a vocation, an idea: a group of professional musicians determined to give Baroque music the chance to move us again.
Led by our artistic director Ottavio Dantone, a profound connoisseur of the expressive codes of the 16th and 17th centuries, we have learnt to read the score with the eyes of those who can grasp and recognise the suggestions that the composer had envisioned and wanted to give us.

Accademia Bizantina, Ottavio Dantone, Alessandro Tampieri – Handel: Concerti Grossi, Op. 6 (2022) [FLAC 24 bit, 88,2 kHz]
The vigour and richness of the Concerto grossi, Op. 6, which Handel based on Corelli’s model, seems to have dictated this full-bodied and highly structured performance by the Accademia Bizantina (directed by Ottavio Dantone). Their vision isn’t some long, quiet road; rather, the listener is taken on a journey, discovering varied landscapes as they travel an often arid and meandering path.

First of all, we can see that the form of the “Concerto Grosso” is almost absent in this collection, with a succession of movements more often reminiscent of the Dance Suite, the Overture or even the Concerto for several instruments. The featured soloists range from Violins, Cellos, Oboes, Bassoons, Flutes and even the Organ. But what most disconcerts and bewilders the scholar is the compositional technique.
