Virtuoso Scarlatti

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Here's an unequivocal statement: this is the best single disc of Scarlatti sonatas currently available. Igor Kipnis is a tremendous virtuoso, able to get through the most difficult of these pieces unscathed. He also has unsurpassed insight into the music. The way he embellishes the repeats (all of which he takes, thank goodness) adds great variety and perspective to the music. Each piece always has its own character. He plays here on a variety of fine- sounding harpsichords, and uses Ralph Kirkpatrick's pairings to keep related sonatas together. The engineering--by Kipnis's son Jeremy--is similarly satisfying. --Leslie Gerber

Oh that these could be recorded live!!.......2004-01-17

What is remarkable about this CD and its artists - Friedman, Paderewski, Moszkowski and the unforgettable Josef Hoffman - is that they are also the composers of the compositions presented here. These are not of the Chopin/Scriabin/Godowsky realm but they are terrific show pieces for the display of an almost unworldly technique. Moszkowski's Etincelles was long a favorite of Vladimir Horowitz and the Minuet by Paderewski has another popular and is occasionaly heard in the concert hall.
