MARIA LUISA BALDASSARI, harpsichord

Musicista e didatta, Francesco Durante è talmente noto alla sua epoca da aver dato il nome a una scuola compositiva (quella dei “durantisti”). La sua produzione è costituita principalmente da musica vocale, soprattutto sacra, e le composi-zioni per tastiera occupano uno spazio limitato, ove è il virtuosismo da farla da padrone: attraverso una tecnica sicura e ben sviluppata, delle scale rapidissime si succedono ad arpeggi ed incroci delle mani, in uno stile già ampiamente af-fermato nella Napoli dell’epoca e tuttavia alternato a tratti caratteristici assolutamente personali.

Musician and teacher, Francesco Durante was so known at his time, that his name was given to a compositional school (that of the “durantisti”). He composed mostly vocal music, especially sacred; his keyboard works make up a limited part of his production where virtuosity is extremely common; elements like the very rapid scales, the arpeggios or the crossing of the hands are also widely found in other contemporaries from Naples, but his writing preserves characteristic features which are absolutely personal.
