Alessandro Marcello (1669 – 1747) was an Italian nobleman and dilettante who dabbled in various areas, including poetry, philosophy, mathematics and, perhaps most notably, music.
A slightly older contemporary of Antonio Vivaldi, Marcello held concerts at his hometown of Venice. He composed and published several sets of concertos, including six concertos under the title of La Cetra (The Lyre), as well as cantatas, arias, canzonets, and violin sonatas. Marcello often composed under the pseudonym Eterio Stinfalico, his name as a member of the celebrated Arcadian Academy (Pontificia Accademia degli Arcadi).
Although his works are infrequently performed today, Marcello is regarded as a very competent composer. His La Cetra concertos are "unusual for their wind solo parts, concision and use of counterpoint within a broadly Vivaldian style," according to Grove, "placing them as a last outpost of the classic Venetian Baroque concerto."
A concerto Marcello wrote in D minor for oboe, strings and basso continuo is perhaps his best-known work. Its worth was attested to by Johann Sebastian Bach who transcribed it for harpsichord.
A beautiful all-cello arrangement of this lesser known baroque sonata. Very atmospheric - ideal scene-setter for historical drama or documentary. Courtly dancing in a royal palace. High stately romance or a parody of the same. Old fashioned dance. Windsor Palace. Royalty. Kings and queens. Instrumental, Classical, Baroque, Alessandro Marcello
Alessandro Marcello's Oboe Concerto, one of the most loved and performed works in the oboe repertoire, is heard here in its D major version. It is regarded as part of the late-Baroque style. This concerto is known for its spirit, warmth, and sensitivity. Instrumental, Classical, Baroque, Alessandro Marcello
