Michael Owen Talbot, FBA (born 4 January 1943 in Luton) is a British musicologist and composer.[1][2]

Talbot is a former Professor of Music at the University of Liverpool.[3] An expert in Italian baroque music,[4] Talbot has authored monographs on Antonio Vivaldi and Tommaso Albinoni, and is an editor of the scholarly journal "Studi Vivaldiani". He is also active as a historicist composer, and a member of the "Vox Saeculorum" society.[5]

Talbot's expertise has been called upon in instances where the authenticity and/or provenance of works has been questioned, including the discovery of the possible Vivaldi work Andromeda Liberata.[6]
