Back to What's onIl-programm jgħaqqad il-mużika ta’ Antonio Vivaldi (1678–1741) u Alessandro Scarlatti (1660–1725)—żewġ ġganti tal-mużika barokka li, għalkemm qatt ma ltaqgħu direttament, ħallew warajhom wirt mużikali affaxxinanti li joffri studju interessanti ta’ kuntrast u kumplement. Iż-żewġ kompożituri kienu prolifiki, innovattivi u influwenti ħafna, iżda kellhom metodi differenti għall-kompożizzjoni: Scarlatti kien primarjament kompożitur ta’ mużika vokali, jaħdem fil-qalba tat-tradizzjoni operistika Naplitana, filwaqt li Vivaldi, għalkemm ukoll kompożitur tal-opri, hu magħruf l-iktar talli rrevoluzzjona l-mużika instrumentali, b’mod partikolari il-‘concerto’.
