Music by Alessandro Scarlatti, Sigismondo d'India and others.

Love, drama and betrayal under the Sicilian sun: this pasticcio of folk melodies and music by advanced composers arose from the love of the Argentinian star conductor Leonardo García Alarcón, who is also celebrated at KLANGVOKAL, and the artists of the Cappella Mediterranea for Calabrian, Sicilian and Neapolitan songs from the 17th and 18th centuries. Enchanting music by Alessandro Scarlatti and Sigismondo d'India, who were both born in Palermo, as well as works from the rich collection of St. John's Co-Cathedral in Malta merge with lively interpretation and plenty of temperament in this program, which is now being performed for the first time in Germany. It is a rousing homage by Cappella Mediterranea to the music of southern Italy - a feast for the senses that will linger long after the concert.
