2 out of 5 stars nap time.......2005-05-01

Most of Scarlatti's 555 keyboard sonatas are fast and inventive, with scarcely a dud among them. The ones played here, however, are from a soft spot in the manuscripts in which Scarlatti pads the good stuff with a series of atypical suites. They are awful! Yes, I'm reviewing Scarlatti here, but although I have never before heard this particular combo of chitarra and mandolin, I have to give this performance a thumbs-down. There are many great performances on guitar out there, but I can't recommend this version.

5 out of 5 stars Glorious performances.......2004-02-10

This is a wonderful album. The two Troesters play with technical brilliance, but the technique is so good it sounds like they could play in their sleep. What comes across is their superb communication with each other and their feeling for the music. The guitar is a perfect support for the virtuoso mandolin. I don't know of another performance of Scarlatti I like so well. A short rant : recording techniques make technically perfect performances possible, but technical perfection on this disc, although arguably present, takes a back seat to the sound of real people playing together.
