composed by Carl Heinrich Graun, Christoph Willibald Gluck, George Frederick Handel, Giovanni Maria Capelli, Johann Adolf Hasse, Leonardo Leo, Nicola Porpora

Following the trend of singers releasing recitals based on the repertoire of great performers of previous centuries -- Cecilia Bartoli's tribute to Maria Malibran and Juan Diego Flórez's to Giovanni Battista Rubini, for instance -- countertenor Philippe Jaroussky has devoted a CD to the repertoire of eighteenth century castrato Giovanni Carestini, ...

composed by Giovanni Mossi, Giuseppe Torelli, Giuseppe Valentini, Leonardo Leo, Pietro Antonio Locatelli

When considering Baroque concertos for multiple instruments -- particularly violins -- Vivaldi is certainly the name that comes most quickly to mind. This album proves, however, that many composers were writing for this medium and doing a magnificent job of it. Despite conductor Reinhard Goebel's stated trepidation about the success of concertos ...

This 1993 recording, originally released on the Opus 111 label, features violinist and leader Fabio Biondi, who has gone on to become one of the bona fide stars of the early music scene.

composed by Leonardo Leo

It won't do to claim the cello concertos of Leonardo Leo (1694-1744) as unknown masterpieces. But if you enjoy hearing a composer struggle with musical materials in an era of transition (might be relevant to today's scene, eh?), you'll find these interesting. Leo was posthumously praised by both Charles Burney and E.T.A. Hoffmann, but today he is ...

Leonardo Leo: The 6 Cello Concertos (2006) more music like this

performed by Josephine Knight (cello), Pietro Spada (harpsichord), English Chamber Orchestra
composed by Leonardo Leo

Neapolitan composer Leonardo Leo (1694-1744) was one of the forerunners of the Classical style, a composer primarily of opera. His experiments with a lighter, freer concept of melody in his comic operas spilled over into instrumental works like these cello composers of 1737 and 1738, which have a flavor all their own. They owe little to the ...

Leonardo Leo: Cello Concertos more music like this

performed by Julius Berger (cello), Südwestdeutsches Kammerorchester Pforzheim, Vladislav Czarnecki (conductor)
composed by Leonardo Leo

Better known for his vocal works than his instrumental contributions, Leonardo Leo nonetheless left us with a number of highly enjoyable and musically significant instrumental works. This two-disc Brilliant Classics set features his Six Cello Concertos, a definite oddity at the same time as the cello was very rarely used as a solo instrument. Leo ...

To highlight Fiori Musicali's 25th season and call attention to the merits of her star vocalist, leader Penelope Rapson has elected to produce a disc highlighting Grace Davidson for Metronome. According to Davidson, whose brief note is notable for its humility and to her own surprise at being so fêted, the disc "interweave[es] lesser known works [ ...
