Alessandro Stradella Consort - Estevan Velardi
An important release for the recognition of the historical importance of Alessandro Scarlatti, the father of the (still more famous) Domenico Scarlatti.
Alessandro Scarlatti formed the bridge between the rich vocal style of the Italian Baroque masters of the 17-th century and the gallant style of Mozart and his contemporaries.
San Filippo Neri is grand and Oratorio in Handelian style, full of dramatic arias and striking instrumental effects.
Excellent performance on authentic instruments by the specialist group Alessandro Stradella Consort, conducted by Estevan Velardi.
