This album features four of his chamber cantatas, which occupy an important place among his works, along with operas and church music, and four selected longer pieces from his relatively early years (none of the scores have been published). After being appointed at a young age to the position of director of music at the court of the king of Naples, the small chamber cantatas that colored the private pleasures of the discerning nobility and high-ranking clergymen were of great significance in the course of his rise to prominence in Rome, where important people from all over Europe gathered. Most of the works in this category deal with love stories of shepherds and nymphs living idyllically in an ideal world, reflecting a poetic technique that was also of interest and debate to poets of the same period. Scarlatti's chamber cantatas number in the hundreds, and each is a unique sequence of poems that makes the most of the flavor of the individual verses, making it a delight for the modern listener.The Vanvitelli Quartet, which is passionate about discovering and introducing unknown works from the 17th and 18th centuries in Italy, will be joined by Rena Yokoyama, who is also widely active as a contemporary instrumentalist.
