Francesco Scarlatti Concerto Grosso: Émigré to British Isles (CD) Album

Description: Further DetailsTitle: Concerto Grosso: Émigré to British IslesCondition: NewDescription: This CD sketches a portrait of the musical reality of the British Isles during the first half of the 18th century. The eight concerti grossi in this programme have been chosen for the features they possess in common, a primordial position being accorded to the work of Francesco Scarlatti. These are pieces of Italian origin in sonata form; the concerto grosso being the émigré of this programme. It was that the concerto grosso emigrated, as did a number of Italian composers who responded to the emotional needs and the demands of an English 'market' that encouraged artistic initiative, promised financial satisfaction, and offered the opportunity of achieving fame. This was the case with Francesco Scarlatti; born in Palermo, the brother of the celebrated Alessandro, he made almost his whole career in London and Dublin, never, however, really achieving the expected fame. Few of his works have survived beyond the six concerti grossi featured on this CD; two concerto grosso arrangements of sonatas by Geminiani and Corelli complete this programme.Artist: Francesco ScarlattiFormat: CDEdition: AlbumNo Of Discs: 1Run Time: 63.56Record Label: MUSORelease Date: 06/28/2019Composer: Arcangelo Corelli, Alessandro Scarlatti, Francesco Geminiani, Francesco Scarlatti/Alessandro Scarlatti, Francesco ScarlattiPerformer Orchestra: Oh!
