Angelo Michele Besseghi (1670-1744)
The instrumental ensemble Opera Quinta, directed by Fabrizio Longo, violin soloist of the team, adds an important element to the inexhaustible rediscovery of the eighteenthcentury Italian heritage.The sonatas op. 1 by Angelo Michele Besseghi – composer of which, unfortunately, only few biographical information has reached us – were published in 1710, openly paying homage to the edition of his much more famous countryman who ten years earlier would have marked the course of European violin history: the Opera 5 by Arcangelo Corelli.
