Neapolitan Organ Music [CD de audio] Emanuele Cardi and Varios

Opere di Guian Francesco De Majo, Domenico Scarlatti, Francesco Durante, Nicola Porpora, Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, Paolo Altieri e Niccolò Antonio Zingarelli - The program of this album outlines a fascinating fresco of the Neapolitan musical panorama of the second half of the 18th century, when the The city of Naples was considered one of the most splendid European musical capitals, coveted home of a large number of musicians, composers and a public eager to listen to always new music. Between the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th century, talented composers such as Alessandro Scarlatti, Giovanni Battista Pergolesi and Francesco Durante developed a new style based on an irresistible mix of elegance, wit and the innate propensity for melody associated with the best authors of the Neapolitan School. These works are presented to us with absolute stylistic rigor and unsurpassed brilliance by Emanuele Cardi, on the keyboard of the organ of the Church of San Nicolás de Bari in Coperchia built in 1889 by Giuseppe Picardi. The booklet contains exhaustive cover notes on the works performed and on the organ.
