Scarlatti’s paean is captured in Nicholas McGegan’s live recording made in Berkeley in October 2015. The Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra’s string-playing is routinely urbane, and the continuo group’s realisations are impeccably shaded. Diana Moore is expressive with words and musical details in Spring’s splendid arias, such as ‘Canta dolce il rosignuolo’ (in which woodwinds sweetly imitate a nightingale’s song). Suzana Ograjenšek’s lightly supple timbre, intelligent treatment of melismatic word-setting and lovely melodic phrasing are applied adroitly to Summer’s ‘Fa che Zeffiro tra fronde’ (a rapt description of breezes wafting through trees and grasses, featuring whispering strings and solo flute). ... This is a delightfully enjoyable revelation of the elder Scarlatti’s genius.
