Από τους μεγάλους δάσκαλους της εποχής του μπαρόκ – όχι γνωστός όσο θα ‘πρεπε στο ευρύ κοινό – είναι ο Alessandro Scarlatti “πατέρας της ναπολιτάνικης όπερας” […και του πολύ πιο διάσημου, Domenico], συνθέτης ενός πλήθους, φωνητικών κυρίως έργων.
Ακούμε δυο εκκλησιαστικούς ύμνους του. Την Χορωδία Schutz του Λονδίνου διευθύνει ο Roger Norrington.
One of the great masters of the Baroque era – not known, as he ought to be, to a wider audience – is Alessandro Scarlatti “father of Neapolitan opera” […and also of the much more famous Domenico], composer of a large amount of mainly vocal works.
We hear two of his sacred hymns. London’s Schutz Choir is conducted by Roger Norrington.

So much passion!
He’s one of my favorite composers. His face is so “modern”, he’s got these crazy eyes, like a rock star of the ’70s or something.
Cool! I suppose in a way, he was a rock star of his day.
