Il Giardino Armonico is a pioneering Italian early music ensemble founded in Milan in 1985 by Luca Pianca and Giovanni Antonini, primarily to play 17th and 18th century music on period instruments.
Il Giardino Armonico performs with prominent soloists such as the soprano Cecilia Bartoli, duo pianists Katia and Marielle Labèque and cellist Christophe Coin and its recordings, issued by Teldec, have met with honors including the Gramophone and Grammy awards.
Il Giardino Armonico performs both in concerts and in opera stage productions of works such as by Monteverdi, Handel, and Pergolesi. Il Giardino Armonico is generally considered one of the most creative and best Baroque ensembles.
