Works By Pietro Domenico Paradisi

Description:

Plays Paradisi by Anna Paradiso, released 8 May 2020. This version of Plays Paradisi comes as a 1xSuper Audio. - WORKS BY PIETRO DOMENICO PARADISI

As Anna Paradiso writes in her liner notes to this disc 'the history of music is full of fine composers who, for one reason or another, have been largely forgotten.' In the case of Pietro Domenico Paradisi, it is only thanks to his Sonate di gravicembalo that he has escaped complete obscurity. Even his name is less than certain - is it Paradies or Paradisi? We know that he sometimes added the epithet 'Napolitano' to his signature, and it's presumed that he was born in or around Naples c. 1706. He may have studied with Nicola Porpora, but otherwise little is known about him before his arrival in England in 1746. There he composed an opera, but was primarily recognized as a harpsichord teacher and performer. The collection of twelve sonatas was first published in London in 1754, and ten of them have been selected for this amply filled disc (almost 88 minutes of music!). The sonatas appeared at a time when the clavichord remained in use, the harpsichord enjoyed it's glory days and the fortepiano was beginning to come into it's own. Anna Paradiso has therefore chosen to play on all three instruments - with the clavichord and the fortepiano being historic examples from 1792 and 1802 respectively. Highly acclaimed for her recordings of solo works and chamber music by the Swedish composer Johan Helmich Roman, Anna Paradiso now let's us enjoy the playfulness and expressivity of Paradisi's approach to keyboard playing.

Recorded November 2018.
