The first time I heard a piece by Scarlatti was in my ballet class. It was so enchanting that I lost my concentration and didn't pay attention to the instructions that the teacher had given the class. I've been in love with Scarlatti's music ever since. This is so beautifully rendered with wonderful sensitivity. Thank you for bringing this album to us.

This recording is a watershed in the history of Scarlattis' recordings. Michaelangelo Carbonnara's interpretations are articulate, joyful, sad and painstakingly exact, without being academic. I've really enjoyed this video and am going to look to purchase this splendid recording. Thank you Brilliant Classics for posting these glittering gems!

[@Altagraciadeorituco]

K138 and the Spanish reminiscences it brings! wow. Complimenti vivi ed entusiasti, sei un Maestro Michelangelo Carbonara! I want to state that my fav all time of Scarlatti is K69. I suspect he wrote this in a very deep, deep moment of tristesse, sadness of the most pure type. I play the piano, and have to be in a special mood to play this Sonata, as it moves me profoundly.

[@laurencegray4720]

Thank you for posting forty two keyboard pieces by one of my favorite de-composers. I have been playing music for fifty something years and Domenico Scarlatti's music is some of my favorite keyboard music.

[@laurencegray4720]

My mother was my first piano teacher. When I discovered one of Scarlatti's Sonatas (K.113) in one of her music books, I tried to learn it although she tried to discourage me because Scarlatti was not one of her musical deities. My mother's musical deities were composers such as Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Debussy, Brahms, J.S. Bach, and Grieg.

I am sorry but Scarlatti was years before Chopin. One must not compare two maestros together! Scarlatti belongs to a class of his very own.

[@geertrinkel1167]

Scarlatti keeps amazing me. His compositions sound so fresh and modern for his time. Especially these piano renditions sometimes sound like Chopin avant la lettre (to my completely untrained ears, that is).

[@eforlerer]

Chopin's mazurkas, yes!

[@geertrinkel1167]

@Mazzel Tov Bedankt voor je vriendelijke berichtje!

[@laurencegray4720]

When I was a teenager, I remember reading a music analysis article which compared Domenico Scarlatti's keyboard sonatas to Chopin's keyboard music. When I was a music major in college, I mentioned this to the professor who taught the music theory courses at the school and he said that he thought the comparison of Scarlatti and Chopin was valid.

[@scottweaverphotovideo]

[@fg_arnold]

Bravissimo, Brilliant Classics! Just bought a copy. Wonderful performances & so good to hear some lesser-played sonatas. K417 was a revelation for me: a fugal sonata that sounded like Scarlatti was trying to show Bach wasn't the only master of that form. Gonna go find the sheet music & start working on it right away.

Now make a list of superb pianists: Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Liszt, Schumann, Rachmaninoff... Domenico Scarlatti influenced ALL them! Some parts of Beethoven's Sonata opus 109 (3rd Mov.) pay hommage to Scarlatti's Sonata K.96.

[@shadbolt4687]

But met and reportedly revered Handel.

[@paulmauffray]

Wonderful recordings overall, and so nice to hear so many different sonatas chosen. However, I must question why he plays a G-sharp in the left hand in m.9 at 1:26:07 in the Sonata K.208. Is it perhaps printed that way in some other edition? The score I have says G-natural there which seems more logical, and in fact, he does it that way in the repeat at 1:27:09. So now I wonder if it was a mistake the first time, or maybe it was intentionally done to be different each time. In any case, I must say that I also do enjoy the extra ornamentation too.

@@crbarny Iam not sure musical companiero - the harpsichord sounds much better ... the piano is for another era of music

[@tomfurgas2844]

@@markussabogabriel5846 Music of the Baroque period was composed for "clavier", i.e. keyboard. That was to indicate that it could be played on harpsichord, clavichord, or even chamber organ. So it can also be played at the piano, now that we have that instrument. Could also be played on synthesizer, for that matter. Historical accuracy is all very well, but it restricts us from taking advantage of our current instruments. I agree with crbarny; I think Scarlatti would have been overjoyed to have access to a modern piano. Mind you, I love harpsichord! But the piano is just as viable for Baroque music.

[@excelsior999]

First of all MC should get a great big Bravo! (not Brava) since he is male. Secondly, I am really getting weary of people holding up Horowitz as being the Gold Standard for the playing of Scarlatti sonatas on the piano. The late harpsichordist Scott Ross (who was a Professor of Music and an acklnowleged authority on Baroque music) made some pretty harsh comments about Horowitz's playing of Scarlatti.

Scarlatti 👎 no Harmonie Bach 👍 Weiß 👍 Händel 👍

[@ssglinus]

It's nice, but it loses something by being done on piano, The Scarlattis were very idiomatic composers. The piano didn't exist, yet, when they lived. Their works were written for harpsichord, and it's peculiarities, which the piano doesn't share. Once again, this is nice, but it isn't what the composers envisioned, quite. It loses something in terms of real impact.

[@lizbetha53]

The Christofori piano e forte was definitely part of the collection of keyboard instruments at the Spanish court while Scarlatti was in residence. He would have definitely composed for it. His works are for the keyboard. All keyboards.
