  • @clementjb Okay, It's very Good! You've got a better ear for this music than I do!

  • @peymaania Notice, for example, how in the aria Virgam virtutis tuae the melodies of the soprano and the violins imitate trumpet-like parts to express the military sense of the words.

  • @peymaania I guess we disagree. This piece isn't ground-breaking or astounding, but it's an incredibly refined and expressive setting for this psalm. It was written under the patronage of Cardinal Ottoboni, a supporter of music and literature, the last cardinal of the Roman Church who lived like a prince and statesman in the mold of the Renaissance- and Baroque-era cardinals.

  • @clementjb Doesn't It get really old? I mean it's good, but nothing exceptional!

  • I have been listening to this recording for 15 years.

  • Thank you for this excellent posting. We all win to know better this wonderful composer; Alessandro Scarlatti.
