Scarlatti's sonatas were originally entitled 'Essercizi' ('Exercises'), and their purpose was to provide musical études for the development of keyboard technique, primarily for his patroness, Queen Maria Barbara of Spain, who must have been a talented harpsichordist. In one of his published collections, he indicated that the Essercizi offer 'no profound Learning, but rather an ingenious Jesting with Art, to accomodate you to the Mastery of the Harpsichord.' And indeed these pieces are almost universally loved and admired for that very quality of wearing art lightly while providing lovely melody, interesting harmony, rhythmic variety.
This, the fifth in the ongoing series of recordings of all 555 of Scarlatti's sonatas, features yet another fine pianist, Benjamin Frith, known to me only from earlier recordings from the Romantic literature (Schumann, Mendelssohn, Weber and John Field). The pianists featured in earlier volumes have been Eteri Andjaparidze, Michael Lewin, Jenö Jando, and Beatrice Long. All have been worthwhile issues, except possibly that of Ms Long, which lacked spine and spirit.
This issue takes its place proudly with the other 'keepers.' They don't erase memories of Horowitz, Weissenberg, and more recently of Dubravka Tomsic. But they are musical, lively, cleanly and spiritedly played. And you can't beat the price.
Recommended.
