Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Baroque and early Classical music with the European Union Chamber Orchestra's captivating album, "Concertos for the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies: Scarlatti, Pergolesi, Porpora & Durante." Released on May 1, 1999, under the prestigious Hyperion label, this collection showcases the ensemble's mastery of chamber music, offering a delightful journey through the works of four prominent Italian composers.
The album spans a variety of instruments and moods, featuring concertos for flute, cello, and string quartets, as well as sinfonia di concerto grosso. The European Union Chamber Orchestra brings to life the intricate compositions of Alessandro Scarlatti, Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, Nicola Porpora, and Francesco Durante, each piece a testament to the composers' ingenuity and the orchestra's virtuosity.
From the spirited Allegro of Pergolesi's Flute Concerto in G Major to the tender Adagio of Scarlatti's Cello Concerto in G Major, the album is a feast of contrasting tempos and emotions. The Concerto per quartetto No. 1 in F Minor by Durante, with its dynamic shifts and expressive Amoroso movement, is particularly noteworthy. The European Union Chamber Orchestra's precise and passionate playing breathes new life into these historical works, making this album a treasure trove for both classical music enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
