Gottfried von der Goltz, Violin & Conductor After the overwhelming success of the "Concerti all’arrabiata," the exploration tour through Italy's musical menu continues. This time, there is a multi-course menu from Naples. The city on Vesuvius was, during the Baroque period, alongside Rome and Venice, the most important music center of the Apennine Peninsula, and countless composers gathered in the opera houses and palaces of the city. Even Georg Friedrich Händel did not miss the opportunity and visited Naples during his stay in Italy, where he studied the local opera and church music tradition intensively. In 1713, his opera Agrippina was performed there with great success. Besides well-known figures like Händel, Alessandro Scarlatti, and Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, there were many other composers in Naples, known only to insiders today, such as Leonardo Leo or Giovanni Battista Mele. These composers are united by the so-called "Neapolitan style": catchy melodies with emotional expressiveness. The FBO serves these Neapolitan delicacies together with recorder player Lucie Horsch, who, despite her young age, has an impressive career on the international stage. Molto bene!
