Scarlatti: Sonatas / Alice Ader

Alice Ader

Composed by: Domenico Scarlatti
Sonatas

« I primarily chose sonatas with a jubilatory or humoristic character, but amongst them I slipped in two miraculously simple masterpieces (K. 32, K. 40) as well as a couple of deeply moving meditations (K8, K69, K144). Straying from nostalgia to pain as if improvised, the latter, by excluding pathos, always remain bathed in the shinning beauty of the solar world of Italy and Spain." It is in these words that Alice Ader introduces us to "her" Scarlatti.
With this sorceress of the piano nothing is ever quite predictable. Therefore, only those who have already heard it can say of this CD that it offers twenty tracks of pure happiness, reaped among the 550 Essercizi of the Neapolitan master.
