    Alessandro Scarlatti wrote over 600 cantatas, two of which are on this 1987 disc performed by soprano Lynne Dawson and the Purcell Quartet: Correa nel seno amato and Già lusingato appieno. He wrote considerably less keyboard music – and next to nothing compared with the gargantuan achievement of his son Domenico – one of which is on this disc performed by Robert Woolley, the harpsichordist of the Purcell Quartet: the Variations on La Folia. With the chamber cantatas flanking the keyboard variations, this disc is a wonderful program of the elder Scarlatti's art. Though there are some who might argue English soprano Dawson is perhaps too reserved for this repertoire, none would argue that she doesn't have a clear voice and a supple technique. And while there are others who might argue the Purcell Quartet is perhaps too stringent for the repertoire, none would argue they don't play together with consummate ease and they don't accompany Dawson with brilliant mastery. But there are few who would disparage Woolley's blindingly virtuosic and blazingly demonic La Folia Variations. Beautifully recorded by Hyperion back in the early days of digital and re-released in identical sound in 2007, this is as fine an Alessandro Scarlatti disc as has been released anytime in the intervening two decades.

    Review by James Leonard, Allmusic.com



    To the gallery of recorded composers who wrote variations on La folia, the Purcell Quartet have added Alessandro Scarlatti, whose often startlingly original harpsichord couplets—30 of them, many with striking touches of chromaticism, culminating in arpeggiated harp effects—Robert Woolley executes in glorious fashion. It is hard to imagine a performance that could match his wonderfully disciplined yet witty virtuoso one.

    Most of this disc, however, is devoted to two 'unfoliated' cantatas in which the Purcell Quartet are joined by the bewitching voice of Lynne Dawson. Correa nel seno amato is a pastoral cantata, three of whose arias—''Ombre opache'', ''Fresche brini'', and ''Onde belle''—make passing reference to natural phenomena. The sections of the sinfonia are sharply contrasted by the players, and the lyrical opening relatative is sensitively paced. Both singer and quartet capitalize on the chromatic inflexions and echoes in ''Idolo amato'', although the ''mournful murmurings'' in ''Onde belle'' might have been sung with more delicacy.

    Gia lusingato appieno is unusual for its textual references to an 'English hero' bidding farewell to his family as he goes into exile; according to Clifford Bartlett (author of the booklet note), this is James II. Among the highlights are the movements of collaboration between voice and strings, as in ''Cara sposa'' with its concertante violins, and ''Sento l'aura'' in which slow trills and echoes are made to sound like ''whispering breezes''. Just as in Correa nel seno amato, Dawson commands the listener's attention from the very first notes of recitative with her beautifully weighed projection of the text; as her accompanist, Woolley always provides what is needed.

    Singer and players are clearly at ease with one another and I look forward to more fruits of their collaboration.'
