Core repertoire

Portrait of Michelangelo Rossi

Born in Genoa and trained by his uncle Lelio Rossi, organist of San Lorenzo Cathedral, Michelangelo Rossi settled in Rome around 1624, where he came into contact with Frescobaldi and was organist of San Luigi dei Francesi from 1629 to 1632. Famous in his lifetime as a violinist, he is best known today for his Toccate e correnti (c. 1634), notably the boldly chromatic Seventh Toccata.
