Synopsis
Pagano provides a study of the relationship between composer Alessandro Scarlatti and his son Domenico (also a composer), in the context of seventeenth-century Sicilian culture. He addresses many of the research questions that have persisted in scholarship since Ralph Kirkpatrick's monograph, such as Domenico's role at the Portuguese court, reasons

A wonderful look at their lives, their times, and the scholarship about these composers
7. Februar 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Telling the lives of Alessandro and Domenico Scarlatti in one biography makes a great deal of sense. Rarely do a father and son of similar genius appear in history. Roberto Pagano does a very fine job of telling us about the context of their lives, what the documentary evidence tells us, what the conjectures are, and a great deal about their royal patrons. We also get into some of the intimate details of the Scarlatti family and its messy behaviors. I also appreciated how Pagano talks about the Kirkpatrick biography of Domenico. He tells us where Kirkpatrick got some evidence wrong, where he speculated maybe a bit too much, and where he disagrees with Kirkpatrick's interpretations and findings. Of course, he is also unstinting in his praise of all Kirkpatrick achieved.
What I found somewhat disappointing was the lack of discussion of the music. Oh, various works are mentioned, how they were received, where and when they were performed, and so forth. However, there is no listing of their works, or even the least musicological consideration of style, development, or resources. But maybe that is because I am used to the British and American style of biographies of composers that almost focus more on the music than the life of the person that created the music. Of course this book is tremendously valuable, and it is always unfair to judge a book because the author didn't write the book you wanted. So, I will chastise myself on my disappointment. However, I do want to prevent you from being disappointed if you are looking for a journey through the music of these two brilliant musicians. It isn't that there is no talk of music here, it just isn't talked about in depth, in a systematic way, or in a way that a musician wanting to dig into the music would prefer.
While some see his using Alessandro's life as a way of explaining Domenico (because there is so little documentary evidence of Domenico's life) as fantasy rather than scholarship, I do think Pagano's putting their lives in social context valuable. If you want to know about their life, times, and the scholarship about the Scarlattis, this is a terrific resource.

A seminal work and enthusiastically recommended
6. Januar 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Ably translated into English by Frederick Hammond, "Alessandro and Domenico Scarlatti: Two Lives In One" is an inherently fascinating and impressively informative biography of Alessandro Scarlatti, one of the most celebrated and least performed composers of the Baroque, and his son Domenico. Biographer Roberto Pagano examines their lives within the context of seventeenth-century Sicilian culture and in doing so, draws upon new documentation concerning their lives and careers. A masterpiece of original bibliographic scholarship, there is clear distinction between authenticated sources and Pagano's own insightful speculation. "Alessandro and Domenico Scarlatti" is a seminal work and enthusiastically recommended for academic library European Music History and Biography collections.
