from Oannes *

Από τους μεγάλους δάσκαλους της εποχής του μπαρόκ – όχι γνωστός όσο θα ‘πρεπε στο ευρύ κοινό – είναι ο Alessandro Scarlatti [πατέρας του Domenico], συνθέτης ενός πλήθους φωνητικών κυρίως έργων.
Ακούμε δυο εκκλησιαστικούς ύμνους του “πατέρα της ναπολιτάνικης όπερας”.
Την Χορωδία Schutz του Λονδίνου διευθύνει ο Roger Norrington.

✻

One of the great masters of the Baroque era – not as well known as it should be to the general public – is Alessandro Scarlatti [Domenico’s father], composer of a multitude of vocal works.
We hear two ecclesiastical hymns of the “father of Neapolitan opera”.
London’s Schutz Choir is conducted by Roger Norrington.

* For my friends who didn’t know, or first timers here, Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
