[This text has been translated electronically.] The Italian bass Matteo Bellotto feels particularly at home in the baroque repertoire. Before dedicating himself to his vocal studies at the Istituto Superiore di Studi Musicali in Modena, he first studied clarinet and music pedagogy at the conservatory in Bologna. In addition to regular participation in major European baroque music festivals, including the Monteverdi Festival in Cremona or in Ambronay, France, Bellotto also devotes himself to recordings of oratorios and sacred music.
