Domenico Scarlatti - Sinfonia en ut majeur (presto)

[xyaqua]

Again, I love the scarf Biondi uses to protect his paulo testore. Such a small detail in such a huge effect.

Phenomenal group, I have many of their recordings!

[obizin]

I thought D. Scarlatti only composed keyboard music...

[recorderson]

awesome ! 

[SCarleTT123star]

complimenti!!!! geniali i vstri video!

[xyaqua]

There are very few absolutes on this earth- but if you listen to a scarlatti, allesandro or dominico, composition recorded by europa galante, you will be lisening to the best performance on the planet!

no other re-incarnates scarlatti. it is if he has been biblically ressurected.

yes, that is how good biondi's europa galante is. no choir of angels ever sounded so good!

Grande Fabio!

souns very like Vivaldi here

[TheCrazyCello]

I've always thought that Domenico presents a sound which has elements of both the Roman and Venetian schools... sort of an amalgam of Corelli's style, with more than a hint of his father's influence, but without the depth - instead it does have that quality of showmanship that characterises Vivaldi. As soon as this movement finishes, I always expect a recitative to start, it's the perfect set up for a vocal entry, but instead there are still more instrumental movements which follow.

magnifique!

Short but sweet

[Viahandel06]

Domenico Scarlatti is simply gorgeous!

Musically I mean:)

[UncleTito72]

@Viahandel06 His father, Alessandro, wasn't bad either. I had to do some of his arias in college, and I still sing them to this day.

[Viahandel06]

@UncleTito72 I know Alessandro, great composer. And that's cool that you sing his arias. Wish I could :)

[xyaqua]

If you want to here italian mastery, listen to the red priest's fisrt movement of winter in the four seasons, by Fabio biondi and Europa Galante. Fabio plays a paulo testore, of such sadness of tone, offset by Biondi's incredible livliness, this is a true synergy of the proverbial yin and yang.

You have not lived nor died until you have heard Fabio's virtuosity.

[antetdi]

I think it's harp (baroque harp, obviously) we hear at 0:10!

[rv9801]

no it is not a harp, it is a lute it sounds like a lute

[antetdi]

ah. ok thank you

[pianoscantalk]

theorbo

[BarNuun]

Such a grandeur.

[franchos007]

Grat tempo and balance.

[kidneykutter]

Very nicely done. I own the CD, so it was nice to get some visual feedback. Great continuo.
