Filippo Prover
(Alessandri, 1727 - Paris, 20 August 1774)

Italian oboist and composer, active in France. Almost nothing is known about his life. He probably toured Europe from Italy with his father and oboist Ignazio Prover (fl. 1727-1775). Then Filippo settled in Paris where in 1756 he appeared six times as oboist at the Concert Spirituel. By the 1760s he was in the service of both the King and Prince of Conty. About Prover it was later written "Jamais musicien ne joua plus agréablement de son instrument". As a composer, he published a set of 'Sei sonate per l'oboe, flauto traverso, o violino con basso ... opera I' (Paris, n.d.). It exists a watercolour by Louis Carrogis Carmontelle (1717-1806) where Prover is depicted alongside with the cellist Jean-Louis Duport (1749-1819), the violinist Pierre Vachon (1738-1803), the hornist Jean-Joseph Rodolphe (1730-1812) and the oboist Vernier (?-?). #ClassicalMusic
