description
Domenico Scarlatti did not find his destiny until he was over 40. In his younger years, he was overshadowed as a composer by his famous father, but then his meeting with the Infanta Maria Barbara brought about a turning point. He became the piano teacher of the talented Portuguese princess and followed his pupil to the Spanish court after her marriage. Here, in relative seclusion, he wrote those more than 550 harpsichord sonatas that today constitute Scarlatti's worldwide fame. Tatjana Vorobjova has compiled a very personal collection from this extensive fund, which brings the cantabile side of the keyboard virtuoso to the fore.

Scarlatti's sonatas are often highly virtuosic or present difficulties that only become apparent when played. For Tatjana Vorobjova this is of course no problem. And how the Latvian harpsichordist makes her instrument sing with Scarlatti's music is fascinating. Produced in finely tuned super audio CD technology, this new release rewards close listening with a flood of audio impressions.
