Italian keyboard player, conductor, and musicologist From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ottaviano Tenerani (born 14 February 1969, in Pontedera, Italy) is an Italian keyboard player, conductor, musicologist. He is the leader of Il Rossignolo, an ensemble on period instruments that he founded in 1998 together with the flautist Marica Testi and the recorder and oboe player Martino Noferi.
Ottaviano Tenerani who has specialized in the interpretation of baroque and classical music, is active both as performer and researcher. He has appeared as conductor and keyboard player in hundreds of concerts and numerous recordings for labels such as Sony Classical.[1] / Deutsche Harmonia Mundi,[2] CPO,[3] Tactus,[4] Brilliant Classics,[5] and Dynamic.
Much involved in musicological research, he has presented modern day first performances of vocal and instrumental music by Alessandro Scarlatti, Georg Friedrich Händel, Antonio Caldara, Johann Joachim Quantz, Giovanni Battista Sammartini, Orazio Caccini and Giovanni Battista Martini.
He discovered the serenade Germanico, attributed to Händel, that he recorded with Il Rossignolo in 2011 for Sony Classical. The critical acclaim won by this recording[6][7][8][9][10] launched further collaboration between Tenerani (with Il Rossignolo) and Sony Classical with the recording of the complete solo sonatas by Georg Friedrich Händel (released in August 2019) [11] and other music from the unedited sacred and secular Italian repertoires.
Ottaviano Tenerani is professor of historical keyboard, chamber music and curator of the collection of musical instruments at the Accademia Internazionale d’Organo e Musica Antica Giuseppe Gherardeschi[12] in Pistoia and teach in several master classes and academies. Since 2008, he has had an affiliation with the Istituto Superiore di Studi Musicali Rinaldo Franci [13] in Siena providing master classes in historical performance practice and harpsichord. In the same Conservatory he is involved as conductor in early music orchestral projects [14][15]
