MALVEZZI Canzona II tono - Simone Stella

Simone Stella plays Canzona II tono by Cristoforo Malvezzi (1547-1597)

Italian composer, organist and singer. Successively organist of Lucca Cathedral and of the Medici church of S Lorenzo, Florence. From 20 May 1565 until 1570 Malvezzi was organist of Santa Trìnita, and in 1573 he succeeded to the double post of maestro di cappella of the cathedral and the baptistry, the most important musical position in Florence. He was listed on Medici court rolls beginning in 1586. It was doubtless on account of his positions as maestro of the Florentine chapel and organist at S Lorenzo that he styled himself 'maestro di cappella del serenissimo Gran Duca di Toscana' on the title-pages of several of his publications.
