Giuseppe Aldrovandini

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Giuseppe Antonio Vincenzo Aldrovandini (born June 8, 1671 in Bologna , † February 8, 1707 ibid) was an Italian conductor and composer of the Baroque.

Life

Giuseppe Aldrovandini studied at the Accademia Filarmonica in Bologna under Giacomo Antonio Perti . He was elected Principe of the Accademia in 1701. From around 1702 he was "maestro di cappella" of the Duke of Mantua and later maestro of the "Accademia del Santo Spirito" in Ferrara.

Stylistically, Aldrovandini belonged to the vocal and instrumental composers of the Bolognese school of the late 17th century. His approximately 14 operas that were definitely assigned were performed frequently. The first three are of a certain importance in the history of opera buffa , as they embody an independent regional development. The libretto of the first opera, “Gl'inganni amorosi scoperti in Villa” (1696), shows greater dramaturgical sophistication than that of the Neapolitan colleagues. Aldrovandini's serious operas have been successful; they are impressive works even if they were not very innovative. In addition, Aldrovandini created five oratorios, motets, cantatas, concertos and sonatas.
