In the history of music, Leonardo Leo is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Leonardo Leo as Italian composer.
Leonardo Leo was born at San Vito dei Normanni in 1694. He trained at Conservatorio della Pietà dei Turchini.
Music then was written to commission, for a court, a church or a patron, and a composer's freedom was bounded by whoever paid.
He worked as composer and organist.
The instruments recorded are organ.
His work is classed as opera.
Performance is the most perishable art and recording the most durable; a career sits between the two.
Leonardo Leo died in 1744, aged 50. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
