Francesco De Angelis (musician)

The peculiarity of his performances is an unmistakable romantic sound blended with the bel canto style and with the rigour of the middle-European instrumental tradition.

Francesco De Angelis has collaborated with the greatest conductors including Daniel Barenboim, Gary Bertini, Semyon Bychkov, Riccardo Chailly, Myung-whun Chung, Colin Davis, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, Charles Dutoit, Gianandrea Gavazzeni, Valery Gergiev, Carlo Maria Giulini, Paavo Järvi, Lorin Maazel, Riccardo Muti, Georges Prêtre, Gennady Rozhdestvensky, Wolfgang Sawallisch, Georg Solti, Jeffrey Tate and Yuri Temirkanov.

Under Riccardo Muti's baton, he participated in the peace-fostering project Vie dell'Amicizia promoted by the Ravenna Festival in Sarajevo, Beirut, Jerusalem, Ground Zero in New York City (on the anniversary of the collapse of the Twin Towers 2002) and Damascus.

He played with prestigious soloists such as Enrico Dindo, Massimo Quarta, Jean-Jacques Kantorow, Tibor Varga, Die Solisten des Wiener Philharmoniker.
