Description
Known as Il Buranello after his island birthplace of Burano, opera composer Baldassare Galuppi was also admired as a keyboard player. His sonatas are quiet, refined gems of the utmost elegance and lyricism, with expressive contrasts ranging from poignant operatic aria style movements to the energetic influence of Scarlatti. This selection includes late works from the Passatempo al Cembalo. Matteo Napoli has been praised for his "enviable poise" (International Record Review) in volume 1 (8.572263) and "finely nuanced" playing (Fanfare) in volume 2 (8.572490). Matteo Napoli captured worldwide attention winning many competitions, including First Prize in the International Liszt Competition at Lucca in 1986. He has performed in Europe, as well as in New York, Mexico City, San Paolo, Japan, Australia, China and Malaysia.
