Welcome to the unofficial homepage for Furio Zanasi, the Italian baritone best known for his masterful performances of Baroque music. He has worked extensively with conductors Jordi Savall (Le Concert des Nations and Hesperion XXI), Rinaldo Alessandrini (Concerto Italiano), Gabriel Garrido (Ensemble Elyma), and Diego Fasolis (Coro Della Radio Svizzera), among others.
Furio Zanasi is a magnificent vocalist. His voice has an exceptionally rich timbre, and he performs with the utmost suppleness of expression, subtly shaded coloration, and vivid emotionality. Furio's singing is truly special.
In particular, Furio is an ideal performer for the glorious repertoire of Baroque Italian music. I have not heard, and surely never will hear, a more satisfying interpretation of Monteverdi's Orfeo. In addition to musical virtuosity, Furio imbues the role with a perfect blend of majesty and humanity.
First of all, this website is simply a personal statement of admiration from an appreciative listener (yes, a "fan"). Apart from that, the Internet has been in need of a dedicated resource for those who would like to discover more about Maestro Zanasi's career. This site is a collection of information that I have been able to find. Hopefully visitors will contribute further information. If you know of anything that should be added, email me at nell@nellmedia.com
Please enjoy the Unofficial Furio Zanasi Homepage!
