Alessandro Felici

Bartolomeo taught his son how to play the organ and music composition, while contemporarily, Felici studied with violinist Giuseppe Castrucci.

[3] He showed interest in composing for the theater, and in 1765 his father sent him to Naples, the Italian city known for its bustling opera scene.

[2] Felici returned to Florence in 1767 and began composing his own operas, distinguished as being much more cuttingly expressive than the works of his contemporaries (anticipating the romantic period),[4] which guaranteed his immediate and notable success.

[3] His only critic was marquis Eugène de Ligniville, who wrote in a letter to Giovanni Battista Martini that his hunting dog knew more about counterpoint than Felici.

After being published in various forms (LP, CD), the recording was digitalized by the Italian Central Institute of Audio and Audiovisual Property on its own website.
