A selection from the 600 sontas by Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757) that illustrate two facets of his musical personality.
CD1 depicts the genius of the composer - some of his greatest and most remarkable sonatas have been selected by Carbonara. These works illustrate the exploratory and innovative nature of the sonatas. CD2 gathers together a selection of sonatas that illustrate the gambler, or the reckless side of the composer. These sonatas are just as innovative as those on CD1, but there is a devil may care craziness to some of the music. These are dramatic extreme works that give some idea of the incredible technique Scarlatti possessed as a player, and of his remarkably fertile imagination. ( Brilliant Classics )
