He studied violin with Giovan Battista Somis, former pupil of Arcangelo Corelli and founder of the Turin violin school, and at 20 he joined the Orchestra of the Teatro Regio in Turin before a series of trips that took him to Germany, France and finally to London, where he lived for 35 years. There, he became famous as a skillful and stylish violinist, obtaining the license by King George II for the release of nine collections of works. As witnessed by Charles Burney in his pioneering music history, Giardini's fame spread to Italy and Germany, and his activities as violinist, composer, impresario and choirmaster, flourished. At eighty years old, in 1792, he made one last trip to Russia, where four years later he died, forgotten and in poverty. Within this album the Mirus Quartet accompanied by fine soloists are rediscovering his quartets, perfect examples of Giardini's great music that led him to win-over the English aristocracy.\u003cp\u003e1.
