Like his near-contemporary Paisiello, Cimarosa bounced back and forth between opera seria and opera buffa.

Written for the National Basque Orchestra in 2012, it features a big orchestra with much percussion, especially a "caja" (drum case), and flighty sounds from the flutes. I found the music evocative and interesting . The Sixth was premièred just as […]
