About
Pablo Devigo is a conductor and historical keyboardist whose work bridges over four centuries of musical tradition through innovative interpretive approaches. Trained in composition and conducting at the Conservatory of the Principality of Asturias, where he graduated with Extraordinary Prize and Highest Honors, Devigo furthered his education as a Fulbright Scholar at the Cleveland Institute of Music. His pursuit of historical performance expertise led him to the Royal Academy of Music in London and the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague.
Devigo’s professional journey reflects his commitment to both scholarly research and vibrant performance. In 2022, he founded Música d’Outrora, an ensemble dedicated to historical recovery and innovation. His artistic leadership is showcased in their debut recording Still Life (Deux-Elles, 2025), which presents a fresh perspective on the 17th-century Italian stylus fantasticus tradition.
“What Devigo achieves in this display of fantasy — a continuous parade of surprises — is of a beauty that is hard to resist.”Rafael Ortega Basagoiti · Madrid Actual · 18 Nov 2025 · translation“…a tremendously alive reading, full of nuance, colour and contrast … an extraordinary performance at the harpsichord by Devigo.”Antonio Daroca · Ritmo, nº 998 · Oct 2025 · translationOrchestral conducting

Still Life is the debut album of Música d’Outrora, directed by Pablo Devigo. Recorded in Birmingham in 2024 and released by the British label Deux-Elles in September 2025, it explores the radical expressivity of the 17th-century stylus fantasticus. Featuring first recordings of works by Ignazio Albertini and Gregorio Strozzi alongside sonatas by Castello, Buxtehude, and Stradella, the project combines rigorous historical research with bold, imaginative performance. The recording was made possible with support from Angel Early Music and the Continuo Foundation, and co-produced by Pablo Devigo and Ignasi Cambra. Still Life invites listeners into a sound world where time suspends, emotions intensify, and contrasts illuminate the path to transcendence.
