Artist

Pietro Castrucci

Last updated: 16 hours ago

An Italian composer and violinist he spent the majority of his professional life in London. He composed sonatas, concerto grossi, pieces for flute, harpsichord, and many sonatas. Castrucci was probably a student of <a href="spotify:artist:5dmMpIyAVaH6b9FLFgWPrF">Corelli's</a> and most certainly was on more than familiar terms with <a href="spotify:artist:1QL7yTHrdahRMpvNtn6rI2">Handel</a>. (Castrucci conducted the opera orchestras of <a href="spotify:artist:1QL7yTHrdahRMpvNtn6rI2">Handel</a> for two decades.) He was a brilliant violinist and was probably the inventor of the "English violet". ~ Keith Johnson, Rovi
