"For this selection of Venetian songs I have sought to favour models of musical importance and with eloquent texts. I cannot deny that I have chosen some pieces for purely affective reasons, precisely because they are capable of evoking exactly the shapes of the city that I have always known and which I love, and of repeating frankly the proud prerogatives of a certain 'venezianità', which I find today unchanged in the characteristics of Venetian people, in spite of fashions and differences between generations”. Lorenzo Regazzo

Lorenzo Regazzo studied with Sesto Bruscantini and Regina Resnik and is especially well known for interpreting Baroque, Classical and bel canto repertoire. Performing at the major opera and concert venues, Regazzo has also been a regular guest at musical events such as the Salzburg Festival and the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro. His discography includes 'Le Nozze di Figaro', with René Jacobs, which was Gramophone Record of the Year in 2004; two recitals: Chante Venise and Vivaldi: Arie per Basso (Naïve, with Rinaldo Alessandrini) for both of which Regazzo received Orphée d’or awards.
