D. Scarlatti: Complete Keyboard Sonatas V 15

Orion Weiss

Composed by: Scarlatti, Domenico

Whilst Alessandro Scarlatti was largely responsible for the early development of Neapolitan opera, his son Domenico is most famous for his extensive series of keyboard sonatas, of which some 555 survive. + His employment at the Spanish court in Madrid led to a series of works largely designed for the Infanta, Maria Barbara, later to become Queen. + These sonatas are amongst the most significant of all 18th-century keyboard works. + Pianist Orion Weiss is one of the most sought-after soloists in his generation of American musicians. + He has performed with most of the major American orchestras, and as a recitalist and chamber musician he has appeared across the US at venues and festivals including the Lincoln & Kennedy Centers, Ravinia and the Bard Music Festival. + “I organized this program emotionally and musically, (not chronologically, or in pairs as is often custom), suggesting a sort of narrative journey. + D minor marks the beginning of the journey, a sign post along the way, and then finally the return home”. – Orion Weiss
