Maria di Loreto in his home city of Naples from 1742-62, from where he was dismissed for allegedly mistreating pupils after repeated complaints about his rather draconian teaching methods. His surviving works show him to be his own man, cultivating a style that is a skillful blend of Venetian, Neapolitan and French Baroque styles. He was also a very skilled exponent of counterpoint. His music is certainly stands out from the mainstream of late Italian baroque. Fiorenza's four concertos are coupled on this disc with a delightful work by another little known Neapolitan composer - Giovanni Battista Mele (1694?-after 1752). Hios lively and cleverly composed concerto for recorder and strings is a real discovery, and is his only known concerto.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brilliant Classics","offers":[{"title":"New \/ CD \/ Recorder Concertos Brilliant Classics","offer_id":47239604535604,"sku":"BRLT93956.2","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.fye.com\/products\/fiorenze-mele-bagliano-collegium-pro-musica-recorder-concertos_aec-brlt93956-2","provider":"FYE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
