About

The early 17th century Italian composer Bellerofonte Castaldi pursued a wide range of artistic activities during his lifetime, becoming an accomplished poet as well as lute virtuoso, satirist, engraver and adventurer ‐ a true Renaissance man.

Castaldi is the only composer to have written for the ‘tiorbino’, a miniature theorbo. He set his own poems to music in a lyrical style that captured the dynamism of the emerging Baroque. Innovative, outspoken and vigorously engaged in the world around him, his music displays an astonishing array of moods. Stunning vocal and instrumental pyrotechnics are here in abundance.

An international collaboration of musicians, Il Furioso specialises in early Italian Baroque music for virtuoso voices, lutes and harpsichord, rediscovered and resurrected through the research of Il Furioso’s lutenists and musicologists David Dolata and Victor Coelho.
