"The Athestis Chorus & Academia de li Musici is the only permanent, large-scale vocal and instrumental ensemble in Italy that specialises in the performance practice of baroque and classical masses, oratories and cantatas. Established in 1993 by its conductor, Filippo Maria Bressan, the ensemble has an extensive repertoire that encompasses composers from the early 17th century to the early 19th century. Committed to researching its repertoire, developing its performance practice and revitalising the early music of Europe, the ensemble has given numerous modern-day performances of long-forgotten masterpieces such as Francesco Cavalli’s Vespro della Beata Vergine and Grande Messa Concertata, Benedetto Marcello’s Miserere, Requiem and Arianna, and Baldassarre Galuppi’s Messa per San Marco. Recordings of these performances have been enthusiastically received in the UK, France, Germany, Canada and Japan. " See website for more information. (ed.)
