Biography

Fabio Bonizzoni is considered one of the leading Italian harpsichordists and organists of his generation. His playing has been defined as “Bright and buoyant, with no tricks […] but plenty of energy and brilliance” (Gramophone). Having graduated in baroque organ and harpsichord at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague in Ton Koopman’s class, he played for several years with some of the most important baroque orchestras of our times, in particular with the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, Le Concert des Nations and Europa Galante. Since 2004, he exclusively devotes himself to his activities as soloist and director, in particular of his own orchestra La Risonanza. With La Risonanza he has completed the project of recording all the Italian Cantatas with instruments by G.F. Handel: this project has been named by the Gramophone Magazine the most important of the decade, and 3 of the 7 CDs of the collection have been awarded the prestigious Handel Stanley Sadie Prize. The last disc of this series, Apollo e Dafne, won the Gramophone Award. Since 2016 he and La Risonanza are recording exclusively for Challenge Classics: a Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas, two volumes with Bach’s harpsichord concertos and the complete sonatas for violin and obbligato harpsichord by Bach, in cooperation with the violinist Ryo Terakado, have appeared so far. His activity is also enriched by commitments as guest conductor both of baroque and modern orchestras.
