About

"At first sight, they appear to have nothing in common - but disregarding the stylistic elements and a difference of two centuries, you soon recognize that both Scarlatti and Bartók are, in a sense, musical architects, who as piano virtuosos were equally interested in miniature forms and inspired by folk music.

Inspired by an 18th century performance practice, where two different character pieces were executed opposite each other in pairs in contrast with each other, I experimented in both the concert hall and the recording studio with the series of pieces on this CD. I found out quickly that I heard, experienced and played both Scarlatti and Bartók’s work ‘differently’ when they were executed alternately - as if discovering hidden secrets in familiar works! This realization led to a new and fresh perspective on the style and rubato and reconsideration of rhythmic, melodic and dynamic elements." (Dejan Lazic, liner notes)

Imaginative fantasy, whole-hearted expressiveness, compelling, dramatic performance, playing of real individuality.” - Gramophone
