Domenico Elmi: The Composer
Elmi was not only an accomplished artist but also an Italian composer active during the late Baroque period. His music is characterized by its expressive lyricism and structural inventiveness, qualities that have attracted renewed attention from leading performers in recent years. One of Elmi’s most notable compositions is the Oboe Concerto in A minor, a testament to his presence among the era’s respected composers.
The Revival of Elmi's Music
In the acclaimed album Tesori d’Italia, oboist Albrecht Mayer, together with I Musici and fellow musicians Luca Pianca and Andrea Zucco, revives long-lost concertos—including works by Giuseppe Sammartini and Domenico Elmi. Mayer’s interpretation brings out the “singing quality” and “miraculous” allure of the oboe, qualities that make Elmi’s compositions particularly effective vehicles for showcasing the instrument’s expressive capabilities.
Experience the Elegance of Elmi's Work
The ensemble’s performance of Elmi’s concerto offers listeners a rare opportunity to experience the composer’s elegant interplay between soloist and orchestra, blending spirited baroque virtuosity with a refined sense of Italianate melody.
