Front cover: La Corallina’s Sunrise by Gianmario Masala www.gianmariomasala.com

A tribute to Alessandro Scarlatti, excellent exponent of the Italian Baroque, thanks to a new rendition of his Magnificat a 5, with solos alternating with chorus. Alongside this master-piece, the intense Salve Regina and a tribute to his son Domenico with his Te Deum. Throught Howell’s Requiem we then wanted to put a seal on the pairing between Renaissance music and XXth century polyphony, thus underlining the always inspiring and fascinating dialogue between ancient and modern.
