Listen free: No available --- Pietro (Pier) Domenico Paradisi [Paradies, Baradies] (Naples, 1707 - Venice, 25 August 1791) Italian composer and teacher. A student of Nicola Porpora in Naples, little is known about his early life. The first documented performance of his music was of the opera 'Alessandro in Persia' (1738). The poor reception of this work marked the beginning of a generally unsuccessful career as a composer for the stage. During the 1739-40 season he moved to Venice, where he was employed by the Conservatorio dei Mendicanti. In 1746 he settled in London where his series of operatic failures continued in January of 1747, when his setting of Vanneschi’s Fetonte encountered negative reaction during its nine performances at the King’s Theatre. Charles Burney described the arias as ‘ill-phrased’ and lacking in ‘estro or grace’. Although he continued to supply arias for pasticcio productions at the King’s Theatre, he never met with success as a composer of opera. He achieved some renown in England, however, as a teacher of harpsichord and composition. His most distinguished student was the elder Thomas Linley. By 1770 he had returned to Italy, where he went into retirement. As a composer, his works include six operas, two concertos for keyboard, several symphonies, and a set of '12 Sonate di gravicembalo' (1754) that were considered some of the best of the time when published in London.
