In diesen Tagen jährt sich der Todestag Alessandro Scarlattis zum 300. Mal. Zum Jubiläum widmen wir ihm eine Diskothek: Mit der Solokantate «Ombre tacite e sole». Darin beklagt ein verlassener Geliebter seine Einsamkeit, und Scarlatti findet dafür dramatische, opernhafte Töne. Über 600 Kantaten sind von Scarlatti überliefert. Auch mehr als hundert Opern hat er komponiert, dazu geistliche Musik, Concerti Grossi, und und und. Alessandro Scarlattis Musik entstand am Übergang vom Hochbarock zur Vorklassik und hat zahlreiche Komponisten beeinflusst – wie Georg Friedrich Händel oder Johann Adolf Hasse. Gäste von Jenny Berg sind die Musikwissenschaftlerin Silke Leopold und der Cembalist Thomas Leininger.

The French countertenor Philippe Jaroussky has just released a new Erato album of cantatas da camera by Alessandro Scarlatti, Porpora, Galuppi, Handel and Vivaldi, ‘Gelosia!'. On it he also conducts his ensemble Artaserse, which he founded in 2002, and with which he increasingly appears solely as conductor rather than as singer. Gramophone's James Jolly went to talk to him in Paris about the new album, but also about a major milestone in his musical career, 25 years of making recordings for Erato.

Der italienische Barock-Komponist Alessandro Scarlatti (gestorben am 22.10.1725) hat die Oper Europas geprägt - und ein spannendes Leben geführt. Von Christoph Vratz.

Alessandro Scarlatti schrieb vor allem Vokalmusik. Unter seinen Instrumentalwerken finden sich die sechs Concerti grossi. Sie weisen weit über ihre Zeit hinaus. BR-KLASSIK stellt sie zusammen mit dem Dirigenten Ottavio Dantone vor.

Jaume Segalés y su equipo hablan del Festival de Música Antigua de Aranjuez y de psicología. Hoy en Km0, tras repasar la actualidad informativa y deportiva, profundizamos en los siguientes asuntos: Festival Música Antigua Aranjuez Uno de los municipios más bellos de la Comunidad de Madrid, el Real Sitio y Villa de Aranjuez, va a celebrar el que es uno de sus eventos más importantes, el Festival Música Antigua Aranjuez, todos los sábados y domingos del 4 de octubre al 2 de noviembre. 32ª edición de esta gran fiesta dedicada a la difusión y divulgación de la música antigua y patrimonial y su vinculación con Aranjuez, con sus ricas historia, arquitectura y paisaje. Este año conmemora a dos grandes maestros de la música con motivo del 300 aniversario de la muerte de Alessandro Scarlatti y el 340 aniversario del nacimiento de su hijo Domenico Scarlatti, que estuvo al servicio como maestro de música de la Reina Bárbara de Braganza. La programación, con la música para teclado como una de las grandes protagonistas, gira en torno a estas dos grandes figuras y a la música de su tiempo. Durante casi un mes, los conciertos y paseos musicales vuelven a este entorno cultural declarado Patrimonio Mundial por la UNESCO en 2001, en escenarios absolutamente propicios para ello como la terraza y la Capilla del Palacio Real, el Palacio y Jardín de Felipe II, y la Bodega de Carlos III del Real Cortijo de San Isidro, una de las más antiguas de España. Entrevistamos al director del festival, Javier Estrella. "Abiertos a sentir: Aprende a compartir tus emociones y disfruta de tu sensibilidad" Una propuesta emocionalmente valiente que rompe con la psicología oficialista para reivindicar la sensibilidad como superpoder en un mundo que nos enseñó a reprimirla. Nos educaron para no sentir. Nos enseñaron a esconder la tristeza, a disfrazar el miedo, a silenciar la rabia. Nos dijeron que sólo valía la alegría. Pero ¿y si todo eso fue un error? "Abiertos a sentir" es un manifiesto emocional dirigido a todos aquellos que se han sentido demasiado sensibles, demasiado profundos, demasiado vulnerables, demasiado humanos. Entrevistamos a su autor, el Dr. Sergi Rufi, psicólogo, divulgador y autor de referencia en sensibilidad y autenticidad. En este libro, editado por Libros Cúpula, nos guía en un viaje sin filtros a través del miedo, la tristeza, la rabia y la alegría, señalando la represión emocional como raíz del malestar humano actual y reivindicando la sensibilidad como brújula interior y base de una vida con sentido.

Se conmemoran 300 años de la muerte de Alessandro Scarlatti, cabeza de una dinastía de músicos y genio del barroco italiano, padre de una nueva forma de ópera, compositor de un sinnúmero de cantatas y quien le dio forma a la obertura en su estructura de sonata. En este episodio viajamos por su vida, su música y su huella en la historia de la música

We trappen het jaar af met oud-NAVO-secretaris-generaal Jaap de Hoop Scheffer. Samen bespreken we het mogelijke bestand tussen Israël en Hamas: hoe dichtbij is vrede écht? En daarnaast kijken we naar de uitdagingen die Europa dit jaar te wachten staan. Hoe moet de EU bijvoorbeeld omgaan met de radicale uitspraken van inkomend president Trump over Groenland, of over een verhoging van de defensie-uitgaven? En komt er dit jaar eindelijk een einde aan de oorlog in Oekraïne? Daarnaast aandacht voor de coalitie-onderhandelingen in Oostenrijk, waar de rechts-radicale FPÖ een nieuwe regering lijken te gaan vormen.

In February our beloved Elly Ameling turns 92. I cannot think of another classical singer who recorded more Christmas albums over the course of her career. One of the most obscure of these is the 1980 release “Christmas with Elly Ameling,” which was briefly available on LP, but never re-released in any format. I present it to you here complete, albeit reordered. A highlight is her performance of the delightful “Weihnachtslieder” by the German romantic composer Peter Cornelius, accompanied by Dalton Baldwin. Also included are works by Alphons Diepenbrock, Hugo Wolf, Alessandro Scarlatti, Richard Strauss, and Max Reger. That record is supplemented by excerpts from two of her earliest recordings, 1960's “A Christmas Fantasy,” alongside Countermelody favorite Bernard Kruysen; and 1963's “Christmas Music of the Renaissance.” Also included are a Haydn Advent cantata and two traditional Spanish carols 1977's “Christmas Songs from Europe,” arranged by Joaquín Nin; rounded off by two exquisite Bach selections from an even rarer Elly recording, a 1979 festive Christmas concert at the Grote Kerk in Monnickendam. All of these represent Elly Ameling at her charming and exquisite best and are sure to put even the Scroogiest of my listeners in the Christmas spirit. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Haar ouders noemden Nora Fischer ‘de tank'. En inderdaad, als een eigengereide zangeres zwenkte ze later door het kunstlandschap. Aan klassieke muziek, haar nest, voegde ze scheuten jazz en ladingen pop toe. Totdat ze in 2020 compleet vastliep: haar bejubelde stem weigerde. Hoe kon dit, wat nu? Nora Fischer maakte er een voorstelling over, De Sprong. En praat in Klassieke Klets vanuit Studio Pandora in TivoliVredenburg openhartig over verwachting, angst en veerkracht.

Welkom terug bij een nieuwe aflevering van Kalm met Klassiek, dé podcastserie voor je dagelijkse momentje rust. Deze week hebben we in chronologische volgorde geluisterd naar gitaarmuziek door de eeuwen heen. Waar we begonnen met de voorloper van de gitaar, de luit, is het vandaag tijd voor de moderne variant: de elektrische gitaar. Zangeres Nora Fischer en gitarist Marnix Dorrestein maakten een bewerking van de aria 'O cessate di piagarmi', oorspronkelijk geschreven door Alessandro Scarlatti in de zeventiende eeuw. Elektrische gitaar, zang, en vroege klassieke muziek: ontdek hoe die samengaan.

Domenico Scarlatti schrieb schon als 17-Jähriger seine erste Oper. Seine eigentliche Leistung aber sind seine Sonaten für Cembalo: Luftige, tänzerische Juwelen des Barock wie die Sonate K 380, in der Scarlatti spanische Volksmusik verarbeitet und mit kühnen Harmonien experimentiert. Von Murat Kayi.

SynopsisOn today's date in 1757, the Italian composer Domenico Scarlatti died in Madrid. He was 71 years old, and for the last 38 years of his life was employed at the court of Princess Maria Barbara, first in her native Portugal, and then, when the Princess married the heir to the Spanish throne, in Madrid.Although Domenico could very well have stayed in Italy and become a famous opera composer like his father, Alessandro Scarlatti, Domenico spent the better part of his life composing over 600 virtuoso sonatas for Maria Barbara. Only a handful of these were published during his lifetime. In the 19th century, Liszt and Brahms took the trouble to hunt down additional Scarlatti sonatas in manuscript, but the bulk of them remained unpublished and unknown until a complete edition was published in the 20th century.While not coming anywhere close to matching Scarlatti's output, one 20th century American composer, the Philadelphia-born Vincent Persichetti, composed ten harpsichord sonatas of his own. The growing number of modern-day harpsichordists has meant that in addition to the wealth of OLD music for the instrument, many contemporary composers have followed Persichetti's example, and are writing NEW works for this old instrument.Music Played in Today's ProgramDomenico Scarlatti (1685 - 1757) Sonata in c, K. 363 Elaine Comparone, harpsichord Laurel 838Vincent Pershichetti (1915 - 1987) Sonata No. 4 Elaine Comparone, harpsichord Laurel 838

Realizamos, a vista de pájaro, un acercamiento a la vocalidad en la ópera de Gluck, con Orfeo y Eurídice como epicentro. Comentamos el caldo de cultivo en el que nace, los antecedentes y consecuentes, la naturaleza y la forma. Con ejemplos abundantes. Se escuchan fragmentos de aquella ópera en las voces de Kathleen Ferrier y René Jacobs, de Polifemo de Porpora, de Alcina de Haendel por Joan Sutherland, del oratorio San Filippo Neri de Alessandro Scarlatti y el final del segundo acto de Idomeneo de Mozart dirigido por John Eliot Gardiner.

The Stabat Mater by Alessandro Scarlatti is a religious musical work composed for two voices, two violins, and basso continuo in 1724. The work was commissioned by the Order of Friars Minor for Lent and meditates on the suffering of Mary, mother of Christ. Scarlatti set the Stabat Mater three times. The work was replaced by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi's Stabat Mater in 1736. Scarlatti's Stabat Mater is considered outdated by those who commissioned it. Scarlatti was one of the first exponents of the Neapolitan School and composed over 600 cantatas, 150 oratories, and 115 operas.Help support our show by purchasing this album  at:Downloads (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) Classical Music Discoveries is sponsored by Uber and Apple Classical. @CMDHedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber#AppleClassical Please consider supporting our show, thank you!Donate (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) staff@classicalmusicdiscoveries.com

Today it is a huge pleasure to have someone back on air who already featured an earlier episode in 2019. Chris Guidice is a well-known scholar - but by no means an ‘armchair magician' - having earned an MA in Western Esoteric Tradition at the University of Exeter and a PhD at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. Chris has Italian and English ancestry and grew up in Italy until age 18 when he decided to study classics at the University of Oxford developing a special interest in Greek literature. After finishing his studies, however instead of pursuing a purely academic carreer, he embarked on a 10-year-journey working for MTV in Italy as a video editor and a scriptwriter. As a practitioner he spent 20 years with the OTO and the A.:A.: During a visit in London in 2009/2010 Chris stumbled across a small ad for an MA in Western Esoteric Tradition at the University of Exeter where soon no one else than renowned historian and professor Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke became his teacher. Chris' succeeded and followed up with his PhD at the University of Gothenburg where ultimately it was his graduation thesis that would turn into the soon to be published book that is the focus of this week's episode, ‘Occult Imperium: Arturo Reghini, Roman Traditionalism, and the Anti-Modern Reaction in Fascist Italy' (Oxford University Press). In our conversation, we'll explore the life of main protagonist, Arturo Reghini, who was born in Florence in 1878 and was not only a genius mathematician but also a pagan in a Pythagorean tradition. In this context we'll try to shed some light on the practices of the Pythagoreans in South Italy back then and how their ideas ran parallel with certain political aspirations of the time culminating into the prospect of (re)-establishing a ‘Sacred Imperium of Italy' in the tradition of ‘True Roman' Imperial concepts. Of course, the question of the relationship between Italian occultism and Italian Fascism can't be neglected and so we will have a honest and open discussion about the role and rise of Mussolini, how the occult imperialist ideas came into pretty handy serving a purpose for a limited amount of time and how the relationship finally played out especially for Reghini himself. We'll close our episode with a glimpse at Chris' upcoming projects which include publishing rare occult classics of the fin de siècle period such as Florence Farr's plays and a special project right in time for the Magickal Women Conference in October 2022.

You know I like classical music. And from what I often hear from you listeners, there are quite a few who like especially classical music from the baroque time, 16th and especially 17th century. Well, this is for you then! Music from Italy, the country our subject is about in the interview today, from the 17th century! Alessandro Scarlatti's (1660-1725) music forms an important link between the early Baroque Italian vocal styles of the 17th century, with their centers in Florence, Venice and Rome, and the classical school of the 18th century. Scarlatti's style, however, is more than a transitional element in Western music; like most of his Naples colleagues he shows an almost modern understanding of the psychology of modulation and also frequently makes use of the ever-changing phrase lengths so typical of the Napoli school. His son, Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757), is classified primarily as a Baroque composer chronologically,

Synopsis On today's date in 1719, the Papal ambassador in Lisbon noted the arrival of a fellow Italian, a composer named Domenico Scarlatti. Domenico was in his early 30s, and the son of Alessandro Scarlatti, a very famous and influential composer of Baroque operas in Naples. At the time, Domenico was nowhere near as famous as his father, and had come to Lisbon to serve as the music teacher for an 8-year old Portuguese princess named Maria Magdalena Barbara. This teaching gig turned out to be the most important event in the life of Domenico Scarlatti – and for two reasons. First, the little princess was mad about music, and became a very talented performer on the harpsichord. Second, in 1733, when the princess was 22, she married into the Spanish royal house, becoming the Queen of Spain. Scarlatti remained in her service for the next 25 years, composing for her amusement over 500 harpsichord sonatas, infused with the rhythms and colors of Spanish and Portuguese folk music and with the plucked sound of the harpsichord often mimicking a Spanish guitar. Only a small number of Scarlatti's sonatas were published during his lifetime, but long after his death all surviving manuscripts were tracked down and published.

For her third album for Gramophone's current Label of the Year, Alpha Classics, the mezzo-soprano Kate Lindsey re-visits the Baroque for ‘Tiranno'. She offers five works by four composers – Alessandro Scarlatti, George Frederick Handel, Claudio Monteverdi and Bartolomeo Monari – that put Nero, his mother Agrippina and second wife Poppea centre stage. Lindsey's last stage role before the pandemic was as Nero in Sir David McVicar's acclaimed production of Handel's Agrippina at New York's Metropolitan Opera and her first role before an audience as the Staatsoper in Vienna recently re-opened its doors to the public was as Nero in Monteverdi's L'incoronazione di Poppea. James Jolly spoke to Kate Lindsey the day before L'incoronazione di Poppea opened and they discussed the new album and its themes of power and corruption, her experience of playing Nero and her plans for the future. Gramophone Podcasts are presented in association with Wigmore Hall.

Synopsis On today’s date in 1692, London audiences were treated to a lavish theatrical entertainment entitled “The Fairy Queen.” This show was loosely based on Shakespeare’s comedy “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” a play already 100 years old in 1692. To make it more in line with contemporary taste, characters were added or cut, and scenes shifted around to such an extent that Shakespeare, were he alive to see it, would be hard put to recognize much of his original concept. Musical sequences were also expanded, and the producers hired the leading British composer of the day to write them. His name was Henry Purcell, and “The Fairy Queen” would turn out to be the biggest success of his career. In addition to writing the show’s songs and dances, Purcell provided music to entertain the audience as they entered and exited the theater or stretched their legs during the intermission. The good news is that no expense was spared in the show’s production. The bad news was the show’s producers barely recovered their expenses. Subsequent productions, they decided, would be less flashy, but, recognizing the quality of Purcell’s music, they signed him on once again for their next extravaganza.

En clave de Dios (CXLI): 'La vanità del mondo'. En este programa presentamos el último lanzamiento discográfico del contratenor francés Philippe Jaroussky, 'La vanità del mondo', un recorrido por el oratorio barroco italiano de finales del siglo XVII y comienzos del XVIII. Así, escuchamos una selección de arias compuestas por grandes representantes del oratorio como Pietro Torri, Alessandro Scarlatti, Antonio Maria Bononcini, Nicola Fago, Johann Adolph Hasse y Antonio Caldara. El género musical del oratorio nació a comienzos del siglo XVII en una concepción pseudo escénica con el objetivo de plasmar y describir las virtudes morales de la Iglesia Católica, y sus argumentos tratan episodios bíblicos del Antiguo Testamento o vidas de santos.
