For comments like the one above many composers in history have to live behind the shadow of the other…He was born some exact time before or after Mozart, so what? how many other composers have not? I was born 4 months and 4 days after Shostakovich passed away, and what? I am a musician too, and so what? Juan Crisostomo Arriga also shared one of Mozart’s middle names too!!!Arriga was a great composer in his own right…His music follows the criteria of the 18th century Italian style, but is a little less refined, but hey, still great music. Arriaga came to prominenece when some of his work was sent to Paris to the great singing master and teacher, Manuel Garcia(1806-1906). Arriaga is a great composer. The music of the other Portuguesse composers is great too. Carlos Seixas was mainly a harpsichord composer, very much in the vein of Scarlatti and Soler, so a symphony; in this symphony in his ouvre is a rarity as are a mass and a Harpsichord Concerto. Seixas was the one of the few if not the only one composer of his generation who did not studied in Italy…Music very different from that of Mozart…Performers and conductor do an outstanding job………
