Abstract
A very welcome growth in the number and quality of recordings of the works of Giovanni Paisiello has become evident in the last few years. A keen collector will have experienced no difficulty in acquiring CD and even DVD sets of 15 and more of his 80-odd operas, several of them in alternative recordings. This interest has now spread to Paisiello's sacred music as well, hitherto hardly an area that the gramophone companies, or indeed musicologists, had even begun to explore properly. The batch of recordings that awaits me this quarter includes three works by Paisiello: the reasonably familiar short opera La serva padrona (1781), admittedly less often heard than Pergolesi's setting of the same libretto, and two major settings of material from the New Testament, Paisiello: Passio di San Giovanni (Capriccio 60133, rec 2006, 58′), a manuscript score of which at Assisi is dated 1785, and Paisiello: La Passione de Gesù Cristo (CPO 777 257–2, rec 2001, 96′), composed in 1783 and a setting of an old text by Pietro Metastasio. As he was moving towards completion of the commission, Paisiello wrote from St Petersburg to the aged poet, requesting new verses for a closing quartetto concertato to bring the text up to modern requirements. The poet was unable to comply with the invitation to renovate a poem written more than 50 years earlier, and in fact died a few weeks later.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
