Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni (1671–1751) was a Venetian Baroque composer. While famous in his day as an opera composer, he is mainly remembered today for his instrumental music, some of which is regularly recorded. His “Adagio in G minor”, actually a later reconstruction, is one of the most frequently recorded pieces of Baroque music. Born to Antonio Albinoni (1634–1709), a wealthy paper merchant and nobleman in Venice, he studied violin and singing.
