ASSOCIAZIONE
HENDEL
Milano Un'associazione per promuovere lo studio e le esecuzioni della musica di G. F. Handel Presidente: Fabio Bonizzoni
The Associazione Hendel* is a non-profit organization that seeks to combine musicological thinking with practical performance projects of Handel's music. We are presently supporting an ambitious recording and performance project by the Italian orchestra La Risonanza (www.larisonanza.it) to perform and record all of Handel's cantate con strumenti (i.e. the cantatas accompanied by continuo and additional instruments) dating from the composer's time working across Italy. In co-operation with the Spanish early music label Glossa (www.glossamusic.com), we aim to complete the project before the end of 2009, the 250th anniversary of Handel's death. Such a project has never been envisaged before, and has so far been met with enormous critical success. Six volumes have already been released: - Le Cantate per il Cardinal Pamphili (winner of the Stanley Sadie Handel Recording Prize 2007; see www.gfhandel.org) - Le Cantate per il Marchese Ruspoli I (awarded 'Editor's Choice' in Gramophone) - Le Cantate per il Cardinal Ottoboni - Aminta e Fillide - Clori Tirsi e Fileno - Olinto Pastore and the seventh is do to appear in 2010 Alongside the performances and recording sessions, the scientific committee of the Associazione is researching several aspects of performance practice, and results of this work are being brought to the public in conferences and symposiums held in universities such as Facoltà di Musicologia di Cremona and Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome.
