I came across this on Qobuz discovery. It’s simply delightful. Scarlotti’s harmonies are sublime.
I must admit I like to album cover. DeMedici seems to have been a bit of a clothes horse…
More seriously, this is an artist that I’ve not paid enough attention to. He’s steeped in counterpoint, but seems to emphasize harmony. This music seems very advanced for its time, 1725. I don’t think I’ve heard string quartets that far back.
