Classical Music
Scarlatti – Euridice dall'Inferno
Today, I’ve been listening to an album of music by Alessandro Scarlatti, performed by Ars Lyrica Houston.
They present première recordings of two works – Euridice dall’Inferno and La concettione della Beata Vergine – alongside Cello Sonata No. 2 in C Minor and the Toccata in A Major.
It’s a wonderful collection, with elegant and refined performances that nevertheless carry emotional weight.
You can read more about it on Naxos.com, or you can listen below.
