Giovanni Paisiello
(Roccaforzata, 9 May 1740 - Naples, 5 June 1816)
Italian composer. He was one of the most successful and influential opera composers of the late 18th century. Paisiello received his education first at the Jesuit school in Taranto and then, between 1754 and 1763, at the Conservatorio di S Onofrio, Naples. At about the time he left the S Onofrio he attracted the attention of a young nobleman, Giuseppe Carafa, who appointed him musical director of the small opera company he was then forming. It was due to Carafa that Paisiello acquired his first commissions to write works for the Teatro Marsigli-Rosi, Bologna, in 1764. The second of these, 'I francesi brillanti', failed at its first performance but was more successful when it was transferred to Modena two weeks later. This led to a commission from Modena for some new music for an opera originally by Guglielmi, 'La donna di tutti i caratteri'. Paisiello’s revision, 'Madama l’umorista', contained much new music; its success led in turn to requests for new operas for other north Italian theatres. Paisiello regarded himself as Neapolitan, and preferred living and working in Naples to anywhere else. In 1766 he returned to Naples; as a freelance composer his chief activity was setting comic operas for the Nuovo and Fiorentini theatres, where his chief rival was Piccinni. But he was also happy to accept commissions for heroic operas for the S Carlo. The three operas staged at the S Carlo between June 1767 and May 1768 appear to indicate that the court, and in particular the King of Naples, Ferdinando IV, approved of his music. However, the royal approval seems to have been withdrawn, possibly because of Paisiello’s unusual behaviour over his marriage to a widow, Cecilia Pallini. In the summer of 1768 he signed a contract to marry her but then tried to withdraw from it, using various excuses. Pallini successfully appealed, and Paisiello was confined in prison until the marriage was solemnized on 15 September. He received no further recognition from the court until 1774, when his short 'Il divertimento de’ numi' was performed at the royal palace, and no further commission came from the S Carlo until mid-1776.
In 1776 his international reputation led Catherine II of Russia to offer him a contract to come to St. Petersburg, where he remained until 1784. Here he wrote his most famous work, 'Il barbiere di Siviglia'. His constant jealousy of colleagues and his feeling of being restricted in his own work led him to return to Naples to accept a position at the court of Ferdinand IV; on his way he had another success in Vienna with 'Il re Teodoro'. After 1787 he also began receiving numerous commissions for sacred music. In 1797 he was asked by Napoleon to come to Paris as maître de chapelle, but despite the emperor’s patronage he had little success apart from some reorganization of the court musical establishment. His 1803 opera 'Proserpine' the only one in French and written according to the reforms of Christoph Willibald von Gluck was a failure, and he returned to Naples. With the Bourbon restoration in 1815 his own position was compromised, and the death of his wife undermined his health. Paisiello’s career was long and illustrious, for he was one of the most important composers along with Giuseppe Sarti and Domenico Cimarosa of opera buffa during the last half of the 18th century. His work was known for its pithy tunes and colorful orchestration, attributes that also spill over into his sacred music. He had a knack for creating popular pieces that flowed well dramatically and were imitated by numerous other composers of the period. His works include 94 operas; 20 secular cantatas or notturnos; 28 Masses; 68 other hymns, canticles, Psalms, and such; five motets; three oratorios; five Passions; three sacred cantatas; 16 wind divertimentos; 12 piano quartets; 13 symphonies; eight keyboard concertos; a violin sonata; and numerous miscellaneous keyboard and small ensemble works.
Absolutely fabulous. The Vivat I want at my coronation as Emperor
Giovanni Paisiello is one of the greatest composers in my opinion, he is really underrated
His piano concertos were highly regarded by ... Mozart. His Barbiere was the main inspiration behind the masterpiece of opera buffa that is Rossini's Barbiere di Siviglia. He wrote superb religious works such as this one and he even wrote the hymn of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies.
He's safely one of the best composers of the classical era, and of all history.
Thanks for uploading Pau NG! Absolutely extraordinary: Paizell's music and your image.
His 1803 opera 'Proserpine' - Paisiello had a big problem at the time - he didn't know French - he had to write an opera in French. He had a knack for creating popular pieces that flowed well dramatically and were imitated by numerous other composers of the period - Mozart, Rosini....
