Biography Carlos Mena, Concerto 1700 & Daniel Pinteño
Daniel Pinteño
Born in Malaga (Spain), he begins his studies in the Conservatorio Profesional de Música de Murcia , under the supervision of Emilio Fenoy, and later completes them with Juan Luis Gallego in the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Aragón.
During his years of training he actively attends to masterclasses with international soloists such as Nicolás Chumachenco, Alexei Bruni, Mikhail Kopelmann, Alberto Lisy or Ida Bieler, among others.
He later moves to Germany, where he continues his advanced studies under Professor Nachum Erlich in the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe (Germany).
From 2010 on, he focuses his musical work on the repertoire between the earliest music for violin in the sixteenth century until the Romantic language of the mid-nineteenth century, following historical-stylistic criteria. With this aim in mind, he starts his musicology studies in the University of La Rioja while simultaneously taking part in masterclasses by historicist musicians such as Enrico Onofri, Anton Steck, Hiro Kurosaki, Catherine Manson, Enrico Gatti, Sirka-Lisa Kaakinen-Pilch, Margaret Faultless, Jaap Ter Linden, etc.
He studied Baroque violin in the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Toulouse (France) under the swiss violinist Gilles Colliard, as well as in the Real Conservatorio Superior de Música de Madrid (Spain), under Professor Hiro Kurosaki.
Currently, he develops his artistic work leading Concerto 1700 and collaborating with various european historicist ensembles such as Forma Antiqva, Al Ayre Español, La Ritirata, L’Arpeggiata, Haydn Sinfonietta Wien, La Capilla Real de Madrid, Tiento Nuovo, Nereydas, Concerto Ibérico among others.
Daniel Pinteño plays on an venetian baroque violin anonymous from late XVII century, and with a 1713 Stradivari “Pingrillé” copy made by the cremonese luthier Carlos H. Roberts.
