Le Stagioni
Born from the meeting of musicians with international careers, both as soloists and members of major European period-instrument ensembles, Le Stagioni embodies a fresh and thoughtful approach to early music. Gathered around harpsichordist and fortepianist Paolo Zanzu, the musicians share a common desire: to combine artistic rigour with freedom of interpretation, constantly renewing their relationship with historical repertoire. Le Stagioni functions as a flexible-formation ensemble, where vocal music holds a place of honour, and each project is shaped by a collective effort that blends research and intuition.
The ensemble’s repertoire spans European music from the 17th to the 19th century, approached with the flexibility and insight that characterise historically informed performers — yet without ever becoming rigid or formulaic.
From their very first recordings, Le Stagioni received high praise from the specialist press.
Officina Romana. A WonderLab at the Dawn of the 18th Century (Arcana / Outhere Music, 2021) laid the foundations for their inventive and demanding interpretative language.
With La Lucrezia. Händel, Porpora, Vivaldi (La Mùsica, 2022), the ensemble explored the emotional depth of the Baroque with intensity and refinement, placing the voice at the heart of musical expression.
Finally, Un secolo cantante. The Rise of Venetian Opera (Arcana / Outhere Music, 2023) pays tribute to the birth and rise of Venetian opera, capturing a century of artistic transformation with elegance and precision.
As a member of FEVIS, Profedim, and the Arviva – Arts vivants, arts durables network, Le Stagioni embraces a demanding artistic path, one that is deeply rooted in both contemporary and aesthetic concerns.
