Concerto Italiano & Rias Kammerchor olv. Rinaldo Alessandrini

At the end of the 17th century, the Scarlatti family dominated the musical life of Italy. This meant that such contemporaries as Alessandro Melani often remained little known. A few years ago, Rinaldo Alessandrini breathed new life into Melani’s music. The recordings were a true revelation because of the unusual use of dissonance and also the emotional expressiveness of the text. In addition, Concerto Italiano will be treating you to Domenico Scarlatti’s marvellous ‘Stabat Mater’, in which you can hear the pain of suffering as never before.
