Acclaimed by Gramophone and other world-wide recording magazines, the set comprises 7 volumes consisting of 38 CDs, which includes the complete sonatas listed by Ralph Kirkpatrick, together with those appearing in all other 18th century editions. In addition, there are a number of more recently discovered and authenticated sonatas, previously unpublished and unrecorded. Together with the ‘Essercizi’, this unique archive follows the chronological order of the original manuscripts belonging to Scarlatti’s patroness, Queen Maria Barbara of Spain – forming to date,
The Only Complete Edition
…and there are other good reasons why it should be considered as
first choice
for potential collectors of the whole oeuvre.
