Biddau Scarlatti To Scarlati CD

Editions of Domenico Scarlatti's almost 600 keyboard sonatas were for a long time based on uncertain sources. The resulting editorial confusion gave rise to different readings at different times and in different places. A prime example is Hans von B?low's selection of eighteen of the sonatas (published in 1864), viewed through the prism of Romanticism. On this release, the pianist Giulio Biddau compares that version with a recent critical edition. Each sonata is played twice, thus alternating the perspectives and shedding light on two different approaches to Scarlatti's work.
