Leonardo Vinci… Neapolitan composer
Have you ever heard Leonardo Vinci's music? Not the Renaissance painter,
but the late-Baroque composer known for his comic operas. This week
on Harmonia we'll explore his music with performances by the Capella
della Pietà de'Turchini. A new release by the Academy of Ancient
Music will also be heard.

Acis, Galatea, and Polyphemus
The tale of Acis and Galatea was an ideal story for setting to music.
Its cast of characters and surprise ending made it a favorite of opera
composers. This week on Harmonia we'll sample versions by Lully, Literes,
Handel, and Naumann, as well as a new release of Buxtehude's organ
music.
