In his time Alessandro Scarlatti was more famous as an opera composer than that of sacred music. His liturgical compositions display a wide stylistic breadth ranging from stile antico works to very modern works departing from the traditions of his times. In this respect – in his employment of all the styles of sacred music – Scarlatti is very reminiscent of Bach.
This new disc presents the premiere recording of his Benedicta et venerabilis es alongside other sacred works.
