Listen free: No available --- Pietro Castrucci (Rome, 1679 - Dublin, 7 March 1752) Italian violinist and composer. He is believed to have been a pupil of Corelli in Rome, where in 1715 he and his younger brother Prospero (?-1760), also a violinist, came to the notice of Lord Burlington, Handel’s patron. In 1715, he settled in London, where he became known as one of the finest virtuoso violinists of his generation. By 1718 he had become leader of the opera orchestra of George Frideric Handel, a position which he held until 1737, when he was succeeded by the younger John Clegg. In 1739 he became one of the first beneficiaries of the Royal Society of Musicians and was little heard of thereafter, apart from an erroneous report of his death in 1746. After a benefit concert in Dublin in 1750, he died there of malaria in 1752. Despite being by then a pauper, he was buried with full ceremony in St. Mary's Church, Dublin. Castrucci was the inventor of the 'violetta marina', which was a variation of the viola d'amore. Handel wrote obbligati for this instrument.
