About

With this seventh 2-CD volume, Francesco Tasini terminates the recording of the Alessandro Scarlatti’s opera omnia for keyboard, that is completed in parallel with the printed edition also by Tasini. The fifteen fugues contained on the first CD are performed at the historic 1836 Carlo Serassi organ of the Santa Maria di Campagna basilica in Piacenza, and constitute a rich handbook of models for teaching contrappunto techniques developed by Tasini according to the practice of the time. The second CD instead contains some pieces, again for organ, and three toccatas for harpsichord in the typical Scarlattian articulation in several movements (the instrument used is an original eighteenth-century harpsichord by an anonymous artist from Ferrara complete with a pedalboard).
