About

2CDs of sonatas containing some unknown and rarely recorded works. These new recordings, made in 2009, contain a selection from the 600 sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757) that illustrate two facets of his musical personality.

CD1 depicts the genius of the composer – some of his greatest and most remarkable sonatas have been selected by Carbonara. These works illustrate the exploratory and innovative nature of the sonatas.  

CD2 gathers together a selection of sonatas that illustrate the gambler, or the reckless side of the composer. These sonatas are just as innovative as those on CD1, but there is a 'devil may care' craziness to some of the music. These are dramatic, extreme works that give some idea of the incredible technique Scarlatti possessed as a player, and of his remarkably fertile imagination.

Carbonara has recorded Ravel’s complete piano music for Brilliant Classics, and a CD of piano music by Nino Rota. He studied with Andreas Staier, Alicia de Larrocha and Leon Fleischer.
