Francesco Cera |
Francesco Cera was born in Bologna, Italy. He studied organ and harpsichord under Luigi Ferdinando Tagliavini and later with Gustav Leonhardt at the Amsterdam Conservatory. He is now one of Italy’s leading early music specialists, and is admired for his talent as a performer and for his extensive knowledge of styles that covers different musical expressions. Francesco Cera applies his distinctive interpretative approach not only to keyboard instruments, but also to Baroque vocal and instrumental music. He has performed as a soloist in important international festivals and on historical organs in the whole of Europe (Bologna Festival, Musica e Poesia in San Maurizio in Milan, Festival of Flanders in Gent and Bruges, Resonanzen Wien, Saint-Michel-en-Thierrache, Arte organica en Castilla y Leon, Les Gouts Reunis Lausanne, Musica Transalpina in London). Francesco Cera is especially well-known as a performer of 17th century harpsichord and organ music. For Tactus label he recorded the complete works of Michelangelo Rossi, Tarquinio Merula, Bernardo Storace and Antonio Valente, highly praised by critics of some of the most important music magazines such as Goldberg, Amadeus, Répertoire and Diapason. The french label Tempéraments published the anthology “Rome Baroque”, with roman organ music, including Frescobaldi and Paquini. |
