| |||||
| "Alessandro Scarlatti was a skilful and influential composer of chamber cantatas . . . yet Scarlatti's fertility in this sphere, as indeed in that of opera, is dimly reflected in The Classical Catalogue. This new disc deserves a warm welcome on two counts. First, the music is stylishly performed and, secondly, the disc addresses itself to pieces which have not, as far as I know, been previously recorded. . . . Argenta's fresh-sounding and well-focused voice with its innocent air suits both music and text perfectly, and she is backed up by lively instrumental support. The remaining cantatas are . . . full of harmonic subtlety and an assortment of musical ideas with which Scarlatti breathes life into the texts. The concluding aria of Hor che di Febo ascosi is a splendid example . . . where Scarlatti's colouring of the words is deft and imaginative. In conclusion, this is a disc which will delight lovers of baroque music and others, too, I trust. . . . [T]he instrumental playing is stylish and sympathetic . . . . [W]e can only hope that Argenta and the Chandos Baroque Players will feel inclined to make further sorties into the cantatas of a composer who is shamefully under-performed." -- Nicholas Anderson, Gramophone | |||||
