First: A. de Cabezón Prev.: B. Castaldi Composer Table: C Next: M. Castelnuovo-Tedesco Last: C. Czerny 		 Dario Castello (? - 1656/8)

Quoting briefly from notes in a Flanders Recorder Quartet programme, next to nothing is known about the life of this Italian composer and flute player. This was the reason for a musical historian to write an essay about him "Dario Castello: A non-existent biography". All that remains from Castello is to be found in his dedications to both of his sonata collections where he had been introduced as leader of a Venetian flute ensemble.
