Domenico Scarlatti is almost exclusively associated with his 600 sonatas for keyboard. But, as with most composers of his time, he also contributed to other genres including music for instrumental ensemble and vocal music. In the early stages of his career, when he was still in Italy, he composed several operas. As there was a close connection between the opera and the chamber cantata it come as no surprise that his output includes several specimens of the latter genre, which was extremely popular throughout Europe. It has taken some time for Domenico's cantatas to achieve any real appreciation. Indicative of the rather negative view of these works is the judgement of the prominent Scarlatti expert Ralph Kirkpatrick, who described Domenico's vocal style as "so lacking in individuality that I cannot vouch for the authenticity of the following works". The lack of appreciation seems to be caused to a large extent by a misunderstanding about their time of composition. It was thought that most cantatas were written early in Scarlatti's life in Italy. But now it is assumed that many of them were written in Spain in the 1740s. This means that they reflect the stylistic development associated with the middle of the 18th century.
The cantatas recorded here are also presumed to have been written at that time, probably for the soprano castrato Farinelli, born as Carlo Broschi in 1705. After a very successful career as an opera singer he decided to go to Madrid at the request of the Spanish queen who hoped his singing would help her husband, King Philip V, to overcome his depression. His close friendship with the King drew him into diplomatic activities. When the King died in 1746 Farinelli became director of a theatre, and gradually withdrew from performing as a singer in public. He was by then well past his prime as a singer, and that could be the reason Scarlatti’s writing largely shuns virtuosity. But there is also a stylistic reason. During the 1740s there was a growing demand for a 'natural' style of composing. In theatrical music this meant that characters should be portrayed in a more natural way, reflecting their different moods according to the situation. This also meant the end of the baroque principle of 'unity of affections'. In the cantatas recorded here Scarlatti pays tribute to this new ideal of 'naturalness' through contrasting affections within arias.
There seem not to be too many similarities between these cantatas and the harpsichord sonatas. The cantatas lack the extravagance of so many of the sonatas. This can be explained in part by the fact that Scarlatti wrote the sonatas for his own use; many may originate in improvisations. A cantata written out to be performed by someone else is a wholly different thing. Even so there are similarities including those arias which are predominantly lyrical in character. Not all Scarlatti's sonatas are fast, virtuosic and exuberant. The slower arias in the cantatas on this disc are comparable to sonatas with tempo indications like 'andante' or 'cantabile'. And to a certain extent the more exuberant sonatas are recognizable in the faster and more virtuosic arias. Here we find large leaps in the solo part as well as some strikingly sharp rhythms.–Johan van Veen
