Scarlatti: Complete Keyboard Sonatas, Vol. 13

Domenico Scarlatti is renowned for his remarkable keyboard sonatas, some 555 of which are known. Written for performance on the various keyboard instruments of the Spanish court where he was employed for many years, they have long provided a valuable repertoire for pianists. On Volume 13 in Naxos’s highly praised and popular series, the young Chinese pianist Chu-Fang Huang, who in 2005 won First Prize in the Cleveland International Piano Competition and was a finalist in the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, interprets sixteen of these influential 18th-century mini-masterpieces.
