Antonio Calegari

Antonio Calegari (Padua, 17 February 1757 - 22 or 28 July 1828) was an Italian baroque composer. His oratorio La risurrezione di Lazzaro 1779, was recorded under Filippo Maria Bressan in 2000.^[1]

He is to be distinguished from three other composers called Calegari from Padua; Father Francesco Antonio Calegari (d.1742), and Giuseppe Calegari, composer of a Betulia liberata (1771).^[2] and his own nephew Luigi Antonio Calegari.

Another contemporary of the same name, Antonio Calegari, was born in Brescia in 1699 and died on July 15, 1777.^[3]
