Giuseppe Grazioli

Conductor Giuseppe Grazioli has specialized in recording less-often-heard music from his native Italy. He has a long track record as a conductor of both orchestral music and opera. Grazioli has conducted many of the major Italian orchestras, including that of the Accademia di Santa Cecilia and the RAI National Symphony Orchestra. In 1993, Grazioli made his recording debut, leading the Harmonia Ensemble on the album 1931, which featured works by Constant Lambert, Arnold Bax, and Vittorio Rieti. Two years later, Grazioli conducted a performance of Nino Rota's rarely-heard opera La Visita Meravigliosa. He has a large repertory of contemporary music. In 2019, he became the principal conductor of the Opéra de Saint-Étienne in France. He led a performance of Licinio Refice's opera Cecilia in 2023.
