Ouverture, 'De barbier van Sevilla'
Fernando Cordas Izhar Elias
If Rossini is known for one thing, it is his catchy melodies. The overture to the opera The Barber of Seville is full of them. They are now so widely known that one would almost forget that they originally flowed from Rossini's pen.
Sonate in E, K.380
Fernando Cordas Izhar Elias
Scarlatti wrote this sonata at the Spanish court, and you can hear it reflected. Fanfare-like motives evoke the sound of horns and trumpets, while rhythmic accents recall the ceremonial of court music: lively, colorful and full of flair.

Fernando Cordas Izhar Elias
Arrangement by Carlo Menotti (1911-2007)
