Cantate da Camera - Domenico Scarlatti

Hi! my friends. All this time I've been too busy, an state that have impeded me to post some wonderful cd's that I want you to know.

Now it is the turn of Domenico Scarlatti, a very prolific composer that composed mainly for the harpschord, his favorite instrument. He also traveled through the cantata genre, a genre that attained its climax in the final stages of his father's life, Alessandro Scarlatti. Domenico composed about sixty cantatas (not at all inconsiderable number) even though his father composed more than 10 times more than him. 

Domenico Scarlatti had nothing to envy others composers since his skillfulness for writing music was unique. In particular, his cantatas have not much to do with the antique stile in which the bass continuo parts were very contrapunctual. In another hand,they  have very little to do with the classical stile also, since the violins and vocal parts are merely harmonious rather than melodious. But at any rate, we all now how big his Domenico's Scarlatti print in music and in his developing.

Enjoy   :)
