Full biography Antonio Brioschi

Antonio Brioschi was an Italian symphony composer who flourished during the first half of the 18th century. He is known to have written a considerable number of symphonies, with at least twenty-six having been preserved in collections. Brioschi is considered a little-known composer, and not much is known about his life or his music beyond his symphonies. However, his compositions have been praised for their beauty, intricacy and lyricism.
