The music of Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757) has been transcribed, remixed, covered and sampled countless numbers of times in modern music (and by modern performers). We hear several examples, as we mark the 322nd anniversary of the composer's birth.
Sonata Bonanza
We hear a bonanza of sonatas by Scarlatti, as performed by guitar duo Sergio and Adair Assad, The Philip Jones Brass Ensemble, and harpist Victoria Drake. Also, keyboard performances from Ivo Pogorelich and Glenn Gould.
