Essential Scarlatti by Colin Booth Colin Booth : Essential Scarlatti.
 Solo harpsichord music.

Domenico Scarlatti is well-known as one of the greatest, perhaps THE greatest harpsichord virtuoso who ever lived. He wrote over 550 sonatas, but only a few of these are well-known today. Essential Scarlatti offers several of these, plus some of Colin Booth's other favourites, which combine to show the varied character of the great genius. Some are soulful, others dramatic, and others again, breathtakingly virtuosic.
