D. Scarlatti - Sonata K13 G major, Scott Ross

[freedomisnocrime]

that dude sure was somethin !

[EugeniusRock]

Listening to this makes me wonder what the heck happened to music nowadays... modern music usually is catchy and sounds nice, but some things--especially heavy metal songs--makes no sense...some things I have no idea why we even label them as "music"

Down with feodality

GO GO BAROQUE PERIOD!!!

baroque composers : J.S. Bach, Handel, d. Scarlatti, Purcell, Corelli and Vivaldi

[g0dsaves]

100% baroque. Splendid interpretation

[Jhamabbi]

Musica Barroca :)

@Scarlatti

brought new life to harpsichord music. Pianist Ross is een geniale harpsichord-user who plays with more joy, every time he touches a new part of this Sonata K13 G major. He belongs to the interpreters 'who stay home', and his language is simple. Scarlatti found what he was looking for:being in your best mood and giving the sounds to people who love both men. I am a Baroque-lover but cannot play without having heard parts of the 'Goldberg Variations'.

Tjako van Schie LOVES Bach!

de seguro todos los que emos firmado este video que emos puesto nuestros comentarios somos musicos

[719352123]

@culturtony123 Lo dudo, ya que los músicos además de hablar el idioma de la música también sabemos escribir correctamente, no como tu, ignorante, ya me imagino como haz de escribir música si así escribes en español.

[culturtony123]

@719352123 jajaja eres musiko pedazo de mierda? jajajaja para empesar pedazo de basura el escribir correctamente no te ase mejor musico ni mejor personas pero como diria antonio salieri siiiiiiiiii es k lo konoses primero la musika i despues las palabras a si ke no ables alo pendejo y si vas a escuchar a escarlati por lo menos aprende algo de el no lo eskuches nada mas por ke si tipiko komo los de mi eskuela nadamas se meten aver compositores del barroko o del romantiko o del neoclasik

[719352123]

@culturtony123 ¿Existe la nesecidad de usar palabras vulgares? En fin, ni para insultar eres bueno.

A veces me pregunto que paso con la gente educada con ganas de sobresalir...

[Paragoti]

There is no better music to work/study/relax/live with.

[Sylvain894]

Whom who love shall not spread fears and sorrows to simple musician ! Mr Scarlatti, don't cry; don't cry on infortunate destiny of man and music splendour !

[Trinitrotolaissance]

@cjr3559 There are still ways to create differences in touch and dynamic range on a harpsichord, though not as obvious as on a piano. But it does not totally lack either of those.

Less obvious perhaps, but I can appreciate these subtle differences just as much.

[gr0mithtimon]

@cjr3559

whys that?

[BmClighting]

awesome!

[UnexpectedExpressive]

the perfect stuff when you need something relaxing

[8ruba]

so awesome that there is no word to describe the exact feeling you feel when hearing this masterpiece

[Trinitrotolaissance]

Words are just a restriction anyway, sit back and listen :-)

[TheQueenElizabethAnn]

we have a harpsichord at my school; it's awesome!

[turbonelli]

Very nice, Domenico. But jeez, keeping track of your sonatas for keyboard is becoming a major headache for me. 555 of them.

thanks and regards

[locomotifx]

There's a heap of his (Ross's) "real shit" on You Tube, and most of it is fantastic: the rest is just excellent.

[giu13pet]

Espetacular!!Maravilloso!!!!! Meraviglioso!!

[skeptikulo]

This picture gives the impression that he had a good and happy life.

[diesarmado]

barroquisimo

[JPConnolly2]

Impeccable playing.

[flic71]

stupenda la sonata (Domenico Scarlatti è veramente un genio) e meraviglioso scott ross!

[lovesGenet]

Soler is even closer sounding to the odd spanish variety Scarlatti brings to his bipartite sonatas.I find there are so many of these that are just fabulous music .these two g maj kirkpatrick 55 and13 i must learn !

[MrJrpjazz]

@lovesGenet That is because Soler was Scarlatti's student.

[BarbaraPloyer333]

Scott Ross always plays the ultimate Scarlatti. No joke there.

[daasvand]

I love playing this Scarlatti!!

[thejokerpenguin2]

Una sonata magnifica,perfetta!!!!

[simcity92]

Magnificent !

[jewish1972]

who can be compared to D.Scarlatti?, in his specialty, barroque sonatas, is uncomparable

[420RonPaul]

he is kinda unique cause his shit was romantic sounding but he was baroque era

[Trinitrotolaissance]

that shit be real

[sosome57]

I'm certainly no expert, but Domenico Cimarosa's sonatas are quite similar and as delightful. At least imho.

[gianpaga11]

Magnifica esecuzione per una stupenda composizione del grande genio partenopeo del barocco.

Vladimir Horowitz ha avuto il merito di far conoscere Scarlatti al grande pubblico, me compreso!

Grazie!

[bersa888]

Indubbiamente Horowitz ha grandissimi meriti, ma, a meno che per "grande pubblico" intendi persone che al di la' pochi "classici" suonati e risuonati ad infinitum non hanno mai ascoltato d'altro, direi che D. Scarlatti e' sempre stato nel firmamento dei grandi, conosciuto e rispettato da amatori e professionisti. Poi c'e' il fatto che Scarlatti sul clavicembalo e' tutt'altra cosa che su un pianoforte, anche con le fantastiche funambolerie horowitziane.

[jewish1972]

all the connoisseurs have said that the best performer of D.Scalatti has been S.Ross. You can also think of R.Kirpattrick & some others. I have listened to Horowitz with Scalatti & he plays him with a romantic style, more suitable for Chopin, destroys the magic & sprit of this composer

[MortiCarthago]

I also really like hantai, he's a pretty big baller himself.

[lutemusic]

So very enjoyable. Thank you.

[italwines]

Bellissima e splendidamente interpretata!

[flic71]

Concordo assolutamente.

Una sonata bellissima, varia, articolata, brillante, mai banale! E lui, Scott Ross, la suona egregiamente.

Domenico Scarlatti è un genio, e d è grazie a persone come lui che sono fiero di essere italiano

[streek23]

Wow. Great phrasing, timing. The placement of pauses is masterful. Great job, Mr. Ross! I'm sorry you're not with us anymore. RIP.

[Curatica]

Indeed he was playing with much "gusto". Sad to hear that he is no longer among us. May he rest in peace, like you said!

[smithsherman]

I award this 4 DRESDENS and it goes on my SCARLATTI AS A VAPID DYSENTARIC LITERAL OBTUSITY...

[thecritiquevirtuoso]

enlighten us then, how is scott ross suppose to play this piece? tell me and I'll give you the deed to my house.

[Trinitrotolaissance]

Thanks for the tip, I will take a look at those!

[handelian]

First, excuse me for my bad english, but I´m writing from México.

I can see we like the same pieces, Scarlatti is one of my favorite composers among Handel and Bach; and of course I have too the collection of Scott Ross, now I´m joining the records on "Brilliant Classics" where the complete sonatas have been playing on harpsichord and fortepiano by Pieter-Jan Belder, you must listen that.

Thanks for the recording.

Regards from México.

[jewish1972]

really, are the 555 s.t. of Scarlatti´s sonatas recorded?, by whom?, on hrpsichord, i suppose. Where can i find that?, & how?

[composer333]

Erato box of Scott Ross All 555. It has an extensive program book.

[firebreathone]

Scott Ross is great
