This is the second of two programmes of chamber cantatas by Alessandro Scarlatti broadcast to mark the tercentenary of his birth.
Scarlatti wrote some 500 solo cantatas, the form reaching a climax in his work which it never again attained. The serenata Venere e Amore was probably written in Naples in the last decade of the seventeenth century, when the composer was in his late thirties.

Marcel Duchamp is one of the great controversial artists of our time. A Frenchman now living in New York, he has produced such notorious ' anti-art' works as the Mona Lisa with the Moustache, as well as complex original works of art such as the ' Bride Stripped Bare by her Bachelors ' in Philadelphia.
In this composite programme
Marcel Duchamp is interviewed by George Heard Hamilton in New York and by Richard Hamilton in London.
This is the second of six programmes from the recent series Arf—Anti-Art which will be repeated during the next few weeks.
