ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

Giovanni Battista Pergolesi achieved international fame already during his short life but especially afterwards: in the course of the Querelle des Bouffons personalities such as Rousseau or Diderot made him the symbol of a new art which was characterised by spontaneity, clarity and naturalness. 120 years later Stravinsky used works by Pergolesi for his ballet Pulcinella, including the chamber cantata Luce degli occhi miei. The highly acclaimed Baroque ensemble Il Giardino Armonico presents this and two other chamber cantatas by Pergolesi together with concertos by his Neapolitan colleagues.
