I must say that this music should be listened not too much concentrated on the melody. The performance is of high quality but the music in my opinion is not. Alessandro Marcello is perhaps the only compser of italian baroque that I would define DULL.
i have to agree more or less with gustavs9, though the music is pretty dull and lacks lively atmosphere at its feet there surely must be respect for this composer as quite most of the music composed by Marcello relates its techniques to those of Vivaldi.
Most composers who try interpreting one other composers' techniques often fail this manner and remain unpopular which concludes the reason why Marcello's music is not fondly respected as much and he himself not known.
Well...Marcello is oft whimsical:AND here is no exception.Standage is conducting them ahead of the beat and that brings the necessary 'spring' to propel this into the heart of the listener.Charming!
Cielo is heaven in Italian. not Cello.

the Canaletto is enough to make you like this recording. Marcello wrote the beautiful oboe concerto. If he did nothing else, that was enough.
Mar-cello literaly means sea-heaven.
How appropriate for a Venetian just like Canaletto.

Very very nice find, I was searching for this for a long time since I heard it on the radio!
This music, is of an incredible lyricism, which announces the masterpieces of Mozart and Haydn.
