Alessandro Scarlatti (1660-1725) is one of the most important composers of the Italian Baroque and the founder of the Neapolitan School. His immense output includes instrumental music but above all an enormous amount of vocal music, both sacred and profane. After a long period of neglect in favour of his son Domenico, Alessandro Scarlatti is widely recognized today as an important Baroque master, a composer of highly skillful and deeply moving music. • This new recording presents three Cantatas, on secular texts for soprano, recorder and b.c. In these works Scarlatti achieves an intense musical expression of the text, which relates to love, in both its blissful and harmful guise. Between the Cantatas Stefano Bagliano plays two brilliant recorder concertos. • The cantatas are sung by Roberta Invernizzi, one of the leading sopranos in Early Music. She collaborated with Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Alan Curtis, Ottavio Dantone, Ton Koopman, Fabio Biondi, and many more. Stefano Bagliano is one of the leading recorder players of today, he recorded for Brilliant Classics works by Vivaldi, Telemann, C.P.E. Bach and others.
