Nicholas McGegan and the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra give the New York premiere of Alessandro Scarlatti’s La Gloria di Primavera. The serenata, a secular vocal work for two or more singers typically set to an allegorical story, is the ideal vehicle for the luscious and lyrical vocal writing that made Scarlatti one of the great operatic composers of his day.
