Fortunato Chelleri’s Cantate e arie con stromenti (1727): A souvenir of London / Cantate e arie con stromenti (1727) Fortunata Chellerija: spomin na London

The Italian composer and instrumentalist Fortunato Chelleri paid three visits to London between 1725 and 1728. Although he failed to have any of his operas performed there, he distinguished himself as a harpsichordist and cellist and left a permanent record of his visits in the form of a published collection of cantatas and arias (1727) that demonstrates his considerable merit as a composer. The article also examines the extraordinary success enjoyed by the Italian cantata in Britain during the same period.Italijanski skladatelj in inštrumentalist Fortunato Chelleri je med letoma 1725 in 1728 trikrat obiskal London.

Kot trajni spomin na svoje obiske je zapustil tiskano zbirko kantat in arij (1727), ki ga uvršča med omembe vredne skladatelje. Članek govori tudi o sočasnem izjemnem uspehu italijanske kantate v Britaniji
