Accademia Instrumentale Italiana

The Accademia Instrumentale Italiana was founded in Verona in 1981 by Patrizia Marlsaidi and Alberto Rasi and has performed extensively in Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Austria and Germany, with invitations to several international festivals where it has always met with widespread critical acclaim. The members of the Accademia are all renowned specialists in early music and have worked together with some of the most famous European ensembles such as the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, Hesperion XX, Giardino Armonico, the Clemencic Consort, the Sonatori de la Gioiosa Marca and La Verdie among others. The Accademia Strumentale Italiana works regularly with Radio Televisione della Svizzera Italiana of Lugano, where they participated in this recording of the cycle of cantatas by Dietrich Buxtehude, Membra Jesu no stri. Since 1991 Alberto Rasi has been the group's musical director: the ensemble currently consists of a small group of viols, joined by guest artists for larger projects.
