| Since no organ built in England before the end of the 17th century has survived in anything approaching an original state, it is hard to determine how the early English organ sounded. |

| We couldn’t conclude 2007 without paying our own special tribute to Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757), the 250th anniversary of whose death has been marked this year. Although Italian by birth, as a musician he could also lay claim to Portuguese as well as Spanish credentials. The latter stem not only from the fact that Spain was his country of adoption, but from the intense musical activity and influential role that characterised his almost thirty years in Madrid. |

| Jean-Baptiste Stuck (1680-1755) was born in Italy to Austrian parents. As well as being a composer, he was a virtuoso cellist, which skill he focused on in the latter half of his career at the expense of composing. Stuck entered the service of Louis XIV’s nephew, Philippe II, Duke of Orléans, later becoming a musician of the Royal Chapel. |
