Available in:
Roberto Gini (Milan, May 21, 1958) is a musician, conductor, gambista, as well as cellist, organist, harpsichordist, Italian.
He is considered a pioneer in the rediscovery of viola da gamba and ancient music in Italy.
Roberto Gini began his musical studies at a young age with Attilio Ranzato, his cello teacher, at the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory (Milan). He later specialized in viola da gamba at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel with Jordi Savall, graduating in 1980 and attending chamber music courses held by Nikolaus Harnoncourt in Salzburg. Roberto Gini is one of the leading performers of ancient international music. His activity has always been characterized by a versatility that makes it difficult to classify in the concert and record landscape. Instrumentalist with viola da gamba and baroque cello, Roberto Gini applies his research in the field of executive practice of the 16th and 17th century basso continuo, as instrumentalist to the harpsichord, organ and his conducting activity.
The ensemble "Concerto" was founded by him in 1985 and his first recordings, which date back to the period between 1988 and 1991, constitute milestones in the interpretation of Monteverdian music. The ensemble's productions followed Roberto Gini's musicological research activity, in particular aimed at Claudio Monteverdi and five-seventeenth-century music. Di Monteverdi produced the first complete recordings of the VII book of madrigals, of the moral and spiritual Selva and the collection in a double CD of all the sacred works not included in the three printed collections of 1610, 1640 and 1651, including two compositions unpublished transcribed and published worldwide: the eight-voice Gloria and the four-part Confitebor.
His musical research also includes the rediscovery and the first recording of the collection Affetti musici by Giulio Cesare Monteverdi as well as that of the Oratorio La Maddalena at 'feet of Christ by Giovanni Bononcini, who won in 1999 the "International Disc Prize" of Cini Foundation of Venice.
In 2015 Roberto Gini founded "THEOREMA", a new ensemble devoted to the instrumental repertoire of the past performed on historical instruments that has already made a recording dedicated to the compositions of John Jenkins and William Lawes.
