An international collaboration of musicians, Il Furioso specialises in early Italian Baroque music for virtuoso voices, lutes and harpsichord, rediscovered and resurrected through the research of Il Furioso lutenists and musicologists David Dolata (FIU) and Victor Coelho (Boston University). Il Furioso’s recording of Giovanni Girolamo Kapsberger’s Libro secondo d’arie (Rome, 1623) for Toccata Classics was praised by Goldberg Magazine as a “polished and pleasurable recording” with “first-class singing.” Early Music America states that Il Furioso’s second disc Battaglia d’amore dedicated to the music of Bellerofonte Castaldi “is an excellent introduction of a long-lost Italian artistic genius and a highly polished project worthy of your attention.”

Il Furioso’s recordings are collaborative projects funded by Florida International University and Boston University, with additional support from multiple other cultural organizations in the USA, Italy, and Canada.

Il Furioso’s page at Toccata Classics presents samples from all our Toccata Classics recordings and allows you to download the program books.
