Maestro palermitano ❤
This is so beautiful. I love the painting, and the music is so dramatic and royal.
Oh my God.............this is beautiful.
Lloyd Chappell Yes it reminds me of GFH but I suppose thatvis because they both came from the same era. I think it would be nice to hear Scarlatti as often as Handel. Blessings and peace be with you
Me fascina Fabio Biondi, maravilloso también con Alessandro Scarlatti . Bravo maestro !!
This Scarlatti's melody is comfortable to the ears and the mind
thankyou for posting these great examples of excelent music.
i am kind of new to this type of music and am loving what i am hearing.
THANK YOU HARMONICO 101!!!!!
Beautiful.
Divine music!
His music is dramatic - highly nuanced and penetrating.
La profundidad del primer movimiento, la forma parsimoniosa en la cual te va llevando de la mano y haciéndote degustar cada acorde es algo difícil de explicar pero me llega a lo más hondo. Creo que si algo parecido a la imnortalidad es componer y transmitir cosas que de otro modo no pueden ser transmitidas. Gracias Alessandro.
Denada crack
Used tiene razon!
wonderful platitudes
The truth seems to be that nobody is certain who wrote the set of Concerti Grossi to which this one belongs. They are some of the best concerti grossi of entire period though, and I think most people who hear them and know Corelli or Handel, might recognize this. I wish we could confidently say Alessandro was the author, or Domenico(that's a theory of mine that I don't take seriously), or anybody. To know a given composer wrote a work gives the works wider recognition than 'anonymous' ever could. But that doesn't detract from the inherent integrity of these gems.
The VI Concertos in Seven Parts published by Benjamin Cooke under Alessandro Scarlatti's name in 1740 have long been suspected of being either arrangements or works by a different composer. Close study of the sources, some of which have only recently come to light, shows them to be arrangements of sonate a quattro, four composed by Alessandro Scarlatti and two (used as Concertos No. 3 and No. 6) by his younger brother Francesco. The unacknowledged compiler and arranger of the set was almost certainly Charles Avison, who in addition made a significant compositional intervention.

This performance has its pros and cons: beautiful sound, beautifully produced, slightly too aggressive in the allegro, the wonderful bass G flat at 5:34 somehow passes them by.

The interpretation I'm used to of these works(which I frankly thought was the only one available till I heard this), is far more aggressive in the allegro yet! And I still loved it. This to me was refreshing by comparison though.
I think there's a harpsichord and a lute
don't you think that harpsichord in Largo sound almost like lute? 0o
Bonjour,
May I inquire about the painting. It is painted by whom?
Best regards
Nicolas Lancret, some time before 1743
@HARMONICO101 : I'm not agree.... Secular and religious musics are different. It was more effective during the first period of baroque. The structure of orchestra or the music language were very different. The orchestra was smaller and in support of the voice. The language of sacred music was more based on the expression of an idea while secular music was more descriptive (to sum up very quickly).
