| Added by magataganm, 26 Feb 2021 Ferdinando Bertoni (1725 – 1813) was an Italian composer and organist. He was born in Salò, and began his music studies in Brescia, not far from his birthplace. Around 1740 he went to Bologna, where he studied until 1745 with the famous music theorist Giovanni Battista Martini. The world of musicology reserves a few lines for him for his work Orpheus composed on a libretto by Calzabigi, the same already placed in music by Gluck. Even the interpreter was the same singer: the famous castrato Guadagni. Bertoni belongs to that group of Italian composers of the second half of the 18th century today ignored by the public, underestimated by critics and relegated to the limbo of "minors". The figures di Traetta, Sacchini, Anfossi and others do not enjoy the consideration they should be Bertoni, unfortunately, belongs to this category of illustrious misunderstood. Only the passion of research can fill the void of knowledge; the curiosity of the researcher evaluates the abandoned scores and reveals their forgotten beauties, returning them to history and listening. It is not up to us to say whether this Salve Regina by Bertoni is a masterpiece. It always comes of "professional" music, however the result of that healthy and solid musical craftsmanship that it thrived at the time in the shadow of churches. It is music that can still be enjoyed with enjoyment today it is not lost in the Olympic heights of virtuosity; indeed, music that knows how to touch the strings of pietas of the listener. The manuscript source, not autographed, for tenor voice, strings and b.c. it is kept at the Archive of the Church of S. Maria della Fava in Venice (once the seat of the Congregation and the Oratory of the Filippini). It cannot be excluded that this score originally had been written by Bertoni for the women's choir of the Beggars Hospital in Venice, where it was famous Master for a long time.

Although originally written for Voice (Tenor), Strings & Continuo, I created this Interpretation of the Salve Regina in F Major for Oboe & Piano. | |||
