Gilbert Bezzina
Gilbert Bezzina is a French violinist and conductor of baroque opera.
Gilbert Bezzina studied violin at the Conservatory of Nice and continues to perform and record as a violinist.
In 1965 he founded the “Société de Musique Ancienne de Nice”, and in 1982 the “Ensemble Baroque de Nice”, with which he has presented, and in some cases recorded, a series of revivals of baroque operas.[1]
A selection of Bezzina's major opera revivals include:
- Vivaldi's L'incoronazione di Dario: Gérard Lesne, Henri Ledroit, Dominique Visse, Michel Verschaeve, Isabelle Poulenard, dir. Gilbert Bezzina, recorded for Harmonia Mundi.
- 2003 Vivaldi's Rosmira fedele Opéra de Nice.[2]
- 2007 Handel's Teseo at the Opéra de Nice.[3]
Bezzina also has revived Oratorios:
- In 2007 Bezzina premiered a little-known second setting by Alessandro Scarlatti of La Giuditta in a mise en espace by Gilbert Blin.[4]
- 2009 Alessandro Scarlatti: Agar et Ismaele esiliati.
