      Top 10 Italian composers

      Giovanni Palestrina

      Palestrina is acknowledged as the greatest composer of the Catholic Church and one of the finest masters of classical polyphonic writing. He is still held up as a model for students.

      Recommended recording:

      Masses and Motets
      Tallis Scholars / Peter Phillips
      (Gimell)
      'The Tallis Scholars make the most of the contrasted blocks of sound here, achieving, as we have come to expect, an impressive vocal blend and balance.' Review

      Domenico Scarlatti

      Scarlatti produced the vast body of instrumental music for which he’s best known, and in particular the keyboard sonatas - works that extended the genre immeasurably.

      Recommended recording:

      Keyboard Sonatas
      Mikhail Pletnevpf 
      (Virgin)
      'As the kaleidoscope turns you marvel at the composer who could embrace such diversity and shape it and put it all on to the keyboard. No wonder Chopin found Scarlatti a kind
