Editions of Domenico Scarlatti's almost 600 keyboard sonatas were for a long time based on uncertain sources. The resulting editorial confusion gave rise to different readings at different times and in different places. A prime example is Hans von B�low's selection of eighteen of the sonatas (published in 1864), viewed through the prism of Romanticism. On this release, the pianist Giulio Biddau compares that version with a recent critical edition. Each sonata is played twice, thus alternating the perspectives and shedding light on two different approaches to Scarlatti's work.
