Alessandro Scarlatti -- Opera Overtures & Concertos

Concerto de' Cavaliere, Marcello Di Lisa 

Tight

-- Di Lisa and his Concerto de' Cavalieri focus on 17th and 18th Century Italian music, particularly Scarlatti. So these boys and girls are at minimum heavily studied in this stuff. This disc is part of a broader baroque project, as is indicated in the lower left of the image. Polished, for sure, but there's a lightness and joy that permeates this music. Very nice.

David Daniels, Ensemble Orchestral de Paris

Berlioz -- Les Nuits D'ete

Ravel -- Cinq Melodies popularies grecquies

Faure -- Trois Melodies

... plus a couple of instrumental numbers thrown in for good measure. Very pleasant
