Most historians of blindness discuss Stanley but merely repeat biographical material without adding any particular insights relating to his blindness. As for twentieth-century musicologists, they have largely ignored Stanley’s blindness. The conclusion is that Stanley’s blindness, despite being present in most of his reception, is not treated as a defining factor. This study pursues new questions about Stanley’s blindness. His disability is given pride of place, and perspectives from the fields of disability studies and minority studies are central to the work. A biographical sketch precedes a discussion of the role of Stanley’s blindness in his reception. The central role of Stanley’s amanuensis and sister-in-law, Anne Arlond, leads to a discussion of issues of gender, and the general invisibility of caregivers. Chapter 2 explores those aspects of Stanley’s life that required an engagement with literate music.

  • Correnti Della Storia
    CORRENTI DELLA STORIA DOMENICO SCARLATTI (1685-1757) November’s essay deals with the life of the composer, Domenico Scarlatti, one of the most famous Baroque composers, who spent much of his life in the service of the Portuguese and Spanish royal families. Chronologically, he is classified as a Baroque composer, although his music was influential in the development of the Classical style and he was one of the few Baroque composers able to transition into the Classical period. Like his renowned father, Alessandro Scarlatti, he composed in a variety of musical forms, although today he is known primarily for his 555 keyboard sonatas, which substantially expanded the technical and musical possibilities of the harpsichord. Giuseppe Domenico Scarlatti was born in Naples on October 26, 1685 (this past Oct. 26 was the 331st anniversary of his birth), the same year as Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel. He was the sixth of ten children of the composer and teacher Alessandro Scarlatti. Domenico’s older brother Pietro Filippo Scarlatti was also a musician. Domenico most likely studied music first under his father. Other composers who were his early teachers were Gaetano Greco and Francesco Gasparini, both of whom influenced his musical style. In 1701, just before his 16th birthday, he was appointed composer and organist at the royal chapel in Naples where his father was Maestro di Cappella. In 1704, he revised Carlo Francesco Pollaro- lo’s opera Irene for performance at the Teatro San Bartolomeo in Velasco’s portrait (1739) Naples. His father soon recognized that his son’s fascination with commemorating the dubbing of Scarlatti the harpsichord would need nurturing in an artistic climate more into the Order of Santiago on April 21, 1738 by King John V of Portugal.

  • Avisonscarlatti Reviews
    reviews Charles Avison Concerti Grossi after Scarlatti The Avison Ensemble Pavlo Beznosiuk, director & violin 2 CDs on Divine Arts, dda 21213 • BBC Radio 3 Essential CD of the Week, 7 - 11 November 2011 … this is exemplary baroque string playing … each concerto is a joy to listen to … the playing is uniformly superb throughout Classic FM Magazine Malcolm Hayes In the unlikely surroundings of 18 th century Newcastle, local musical entrepreneur Charles Avison made a name for himself with his Baroque string concertos, including this collection based on existing works (some of them now lost) by Italy's Domenico Scarlatti. While rather short-changing the fiery vibrancy of Scarlatti's brilliant harpsichord writing, Avison's arrangements and re-workings are never less than engaging and stylish. However, the real trump card is the quality with which they're played here. Under leader-director Pavlo Beznosiuk, springy rhythms combine with a lovely pliable way with the music's pacing and phrasing. ClassicalNet Gerald Fenech This delightful two disc set is a welcome addition to the catalogue where these concertos have been sparsely represented of late. After having tackled similar works for Divine Art, the Avison Ensemble now lend their talented vein to these Scarlatti arrangements by their namesake composer and the result is quite enthralling. avisonensemble.com 1 Each concerto is a joy to listen to and although the music is brought together from other works, there is an innate feel that everything is complete and should be "there". Pavlo Beznosiuk directs these works with consummate panache and his violin playing is also impeccable as can be expected from this old warhorse of this sort of repertoire.
