Ildebrando d’Arcangelo

The music of Mozart is among the most core of bass-baritone’s Ildebrando d’Arcangelo repertoire since winning the Toti dal Monte International Competition for Performers in 1989 as Masetto in Don Giovanni, and again in 1991 as Don Alfonso in Così fan tutte. Critics possess praised not merely his tone of voice, but his performing skills aswell, as he’s extended his jobs into operas and choral functions by Rossini, Donizetti, Gounod, Handel, Stravinsky, Verdi, and beyond. D’Arcangelo started piano lessons at six, but didn’t begin performing until an adolescent, when his organist dad encouraged him to become listed on a choir. He inserted the conservatory in his hometown of Pescara in 1985 and continued to review at Bologna with Paride Venturi. His documenting debut was as Leporello within a creation of Don Giovanni executed by John Eliot Gardiner in 1994. Since that time, he has made an appearance on-stage and in concert throughout European countries and THE UNITED STATES, under conductors such as for example Claudio Abbado, Valery Gergiev, Myung-Whun Chung, and Yannick Nézet-Seguin, with the Salzburg celebration. His first single documenting was of Handel arias, followed on period musical instruments by Modo Antiquo and conductor Federico Maria Sardelli, released in ’09 2009. The Handel was a mindful choice, created by d’Arcangelo like a problem to himself to increase his range, something he likes performing, and which he attempts regarding care and cleverness. In 2011 he made an appearance as Don Giovanni in the Baden-Baden Event and on tv in a overall performance of Rossini’s Stabat mater under Antonio Pappano.
