Alessandro Marcello (1669-1747) was an Italian composer of the Baroque era, now mostly remembered for the Adagio from his Oboe Concerto in D minor. His reputation rests on only a few compositions, sometimes attributed to his brother, Benedetto Marcello, and his biography is primarily focused on his position as a Venetian nobleman. Marcello collected musical instruments, many of which are held in the National Museum of Musical Instruments in Rome, and he participated in numerous other cultural projects. His solo cantatas were written for many of the leading singers of his time, including famous castrato Farinelli. ---Blair Sanderson, allmusic.com
