Italian keyboard player, conductor, and musicologist
Ottaviano Tenerani
Ottaviano Tenerani (born 14 February 1969, in Pontedera, Italy) is an Italian keyboard player, conductor, musicologist. He is the leader of Il Rossignolo, an ensemble on period instruments that he founded in 1998 together with the flautist Marica Testi and the recorder and oboe player Martino Noferi.
He discovered the serenade Germanico, attributed to Händel, that he recorded with Il Rossignolo in 2011 for Sony Classical. The critical acclaim won by this recording[6][7][8][9][10] launched further collaboration between Tenerani (with Il Rossignolo) and Sony Classical with the recording of the complete solo sonatas by Georg Friedrich Händel (released in August 2019) [11] and other music from the unedited sacred and secular Italian repertoires.
