Episode 3
Donald Macleod focuses on a keyboard concerto dedicated to one of Paisiello's most prestigious pupils and the opera which became his biggest hit.
Paisiello didn't compose a great deal of instrumental music during his lifetime, but whilst in St Petersburg, he wrote a selection of keyboard music dedicated to two of his most prestigious pupils. Donald Macleod introduces the gracious Harpsichord Concerto in C major and the opera which was destined to become Paisiello's biggest hit, 'Il barbiere di Siviglia'.
