A very important discography of memorable interpretations mark the career of the artist, who is often accompanied by his ensemble Il Seminario Musicale. In the French repertoire Charpentier and Brossard occupy a place of privilege, as do Bach, Handel, Hasse, and the Englishmen Blow and Purcell, as well as the great Italians from Monteverdi to Scarlatti and Vivaldi. A disc devoted to the Bach family will be released in April 2002. — M.H.
