Official Site: http://www.giulianocarmignola.com/Equally accomplished on modern and Baroque violin, Giuliano Carmignola is highly regarded for his broad repertoire, which encompasses Baroque, Romantic, Classical, and 20th-century works. Mr. Carmignola's career began with awards at the "Premio Città di Vittorio Veneto" in 1971 and the Paganini Competition in Genoa in 1973. He quickly secured his status as a leading soloist under Claudio Abbado, Eliahu Inbal, Peter Maag and Giuseppe Sinopoli, appearing at Royal Albert Hall, La Scala, Musikverein, the Berlin Philharmonie, and Tchaikovsky Hall. Additionally, he served as concertmaster at Teatro La Fenice from 1978 to 1985, toured extensively with I Virtuosi di Roma, and gave the Italian premiere of the Dutilleux violin concerto. In subsequent years, his focus broadened to include Baroque performance on period violin at festivals including Aldeburgh, Ambronay, Bruges, Lucerne, Vienna, Brussels, Salzburg, and Istanbul, and in concert worldwide, notably at Amsterdam, Tokyo, Berlin, New York, Frankfurt, Paris, London, and Montreal. Today, Mr. Carmignola enjoys a uniquely diverse career, with repertoire ranging from Vivaldi, Beethoven, and Mendelssohn to Debussy, Stravinsky, and Schnittke. In October, 2004, Mr. Carmignola and Claudio Abbado will commence a three-year series of Mozart concertos with Orchestra Mozart in Bologna. Other engagements in 2004 included performances with Les Violins du Roy (under Bernard Labadie); the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra (under Ton Koopman); the Tonkünstler Orchester Neiderösterriech; the Mahler Chamber Orchestra; and a highly-acclaimed U.S. tour with the Venice Baroque Orchestra, featuring Vivaldi for the inaugural season at Disney Hall. In 2003, he led the Academy of Ancient Music throughout the U.K.; toured Spain, Belgium, and the Netherlands; and was soloist with the Basel Chamber Orchestra. Additionally, he debuted at the Boston Early Music Festival and performed Beethoven's Triple Concerto with cellist Mario Brunello and pianist Andrea Lucchesini. In 2002, his premiere at the Proms was broadcast nationwide by BBC, and in 2001, he made his United States debut at the Mostly Mozart Festival at Lincoln Center. Mr. Carmignola recently signed an exclusive contract with Deutsche Grammophon, and has since recorded a collection of Tartini, Locatelli, and Vivaldi violin concertos. He will follow with Bach's complete solo sonatas and partitas. His discography on Sony Classical includes five recordings with the Venice Baroque Orchestra, including two albums of previously unrecorded Vivaldi concertos, The Four Seasons, the complete Bach sonatas for violin and harpsichord (with Andrea Marcon), and a collection of Locatelli violin concertos. For his recordings, Mr. Carmignola has been awarded Germany's Echo Prize and the Diapason D'Or. A native of Treviso, Italy, Mr. Carmignola began his studies with his father and graduated from the Conservatorio Benedetto Marcello in Venice where he studied with Luigi Ferro. He attended master classes with Nathan Milstein and Franco Gulli at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena and with Henryk Szeryng at the Geneva Conservatory. A professor of violin at the Venice Conservatory for ten years, he was appointed professor of violin at the Lucerne Hochschule in 1999, and is currently a professor of music at Siena's Accademia Musicale Chigiana. He frequently collaborates in recital with pianists Yasuyo Yano, Bruno Canino and Andrea Lucchesini, cellist Mario Brunello, and violists Bruno Giuranna and Danilo Rossi. In the performance of Baroque music, Mr. Carmignola plays a 17th-century Italian violin that has never been modernized. For music other than Baroque, he plays a 1733 Pietro Guarneri. |
