Experience La Ritirata
La Ritirata is a vibrant Italian ensemble specializing in historically informed performance of 17th and 18th-century music, particularly focusing on the rediscovery of forgotten composers. Founded in 2005 by violinist and conductor Federico Maria Sardelli, the group draws its name from the *ritornello* – a recurring musical passage – and embodies a spirit of returning to original sources.
La Ritirata distinguishes itself through rigorous philological research, utilizing period instruments and performance practices. Their repertoire extends beyond mainstream Baroque composers like Vivaldi (of whom they’ve recorded complete concertos) to include unjustly neglected figures such as Alessandro Scarlatti, Francesco Geminiani, and Carlo Gesualdo.
The ensemble has garnered international acclaim for its dynamic interpretations and innovative programming. Notably, their complete recording of Vivaldi’s concertos *La Cetra* (Archiv Produktion/Deutsche Grammophon) received widespread critical praise, including a Gramophone Editor’s Choice award. They frequently perform at prestigious festivals across Europe and have released numerous recordings lauded for their freshness and insight into Baroque aesthetics. La Ritirata actively promotes musicological understanding alongside captivating performance.
