The son of Alessandro Scarlatti, who created a new school of opera in Naples, Domenico Scarlatti is particularly distinguished for his remarkable keyboard sonatas, of which some 555 are known. This significant addition to early 18th century keyboard repertoire was written for performance on the various keyboard instruments of the Spanish court, where he was employed for many years, and in all their variety have long provided a valuable repertoire for pianists.


   




Review By Laura Rónai,Fanfare,January 2009

For those who know Scarlatti and know they like it on the piano, this disc is definitely recommended, as well as for fans of Romantic music who are seeking a first encounter with the music of the 18th century.

Review By Jed Distler,ClassicsToday.com,June 2008

The pianist’s excellent technique particularly shines in the G major K. 79’s scurrying figurations, although a lighter, more supple touch and greater variety of nuance would elevate the two A major pieces (K. 344 and K. 456) from good to memorable. Furthermore, the lyrical D minor K. 77 finds Nicolosi’s attention fixed on the right-hand line, while the left hand mostly remains in the background. By all means, acquire this release if you’re collecting the Naxos Scarlatti cycle as it appears…
