Domenico Scarlatti: La Dirindina

“This release should bring joy to any fan of Domenico Scarlatti. The three vocalists… are perfectly cast [and] the orchestra plays with engaging energy and dynamic contrast.”
—Early Music America

“The first note of Richard Savino’s mandolin blooming above the dulcet chords of the lute-stop of Dirst’s harpsichord brought a smile not just to my face, but also to my soul.”
—David Yearsley, CounterPunch
