About this concert
At the age of 24, following his successes in Rome, Alessandro Scarlatti was appointed royal Kapellmeister in Naples in 1684. There he had to deal with jealousy and contempt from those involved in the local music scene. Scarlatti came up with the best possible answer to this harassment by enjoying a brilliant career lasting nearly thirty years and producing a phenomenal oeuvre in the process. Bart Naessens chooses his favourite keyboard works from Scarlatti’s oeuvre.
