Here’s another name from the Italian Baroque to conjure with, rescued from dusty obscurity by stylish Italian musicians and Brilliant Classics, who have an unrivalled back-catalogue of such discoveries. Giorgio Gentili (1669-1737) was a Venetian musician who made his name as a violinist, playing in the ducal chapel of St Mark’s. Appointed at the age of 20, he remained in post as a principal soloist in the ensemble for over 40 years, as well as taking on a music-director post at the Ospedale dei Mendicanti. Though now almost forgotten, he was clearly well-respected within the competitive musical scene of early 18th-century Venice, being among the highest-paid musicians in the city.
