Giuseppe Maletto

Conductor and singer Giuseppe Maletto has led performances of music from the early Renaissance to Bach. He has collaborated as a singer with leading early music groups. Maletto was drawn into early music when he heard the pioneering recordings of Guillaume Dufay's music by ensemble director David Munrow. In the 1990s, there was no early music group in Italy that specialized in the music of the 15th century and specifically in that of Dufay. In 1995, Maletto and Svetlana Fomina founded the group Cantica Symphonia to address this lack; Maletto remains the group's director. In 2020, he led Cantica Symphonia on an album featuring Josquin's Stabat mater. He returned in 2023, leading the ensemble Il Pomo d'Oro on a recording of the Sacrae Cantiones of Don Carlo Gesualdo.
