@bersa888 : You think so ... 'e looks like one ... that cunningness about him for that is their chief characteristic ... maybe I won't be buying his CDs.
@MusicPredominates : Well, last year I was in fact saddened by the news that he was busted for having sex with a minor (or even rape, I'm not sure), with an underage boy in Thailand, where he spends a lot of time... sad, really. Such a superlative musician...
Maestro Pletnev's 2 CD set of Scarlatti- Sonatas quite an event of century. If some performers in the past realize that "..these are not exercises,these are SONATAS..."(even so they're all were performed as a Hanon ex-es.) " Maestro Pletnev discovered more...I swear! after listening of this recording, I realized...Scarlatti's "Exercises" are basic source (matrix maybe?!) of classical music in general .
Pretty good for a pederast...

How wonderfully he plays the piano and makes it sound like a harpsichord. He understands the baroque with delicacy and finesse..

I like Pletnev's Scarlatti, much more than any other pianist. Very crisp, elegant, and baroque sounding.

I love his Scarlatti, but I also found that playing them in the car makes me somewhat peevish!

I played this piece in the ABRSM Grade 8 Piano Exam in 1990. I should not have failed in this piece if I had heard about this demonstration before.
