  • First one is a sonata h-moll(b minor,or si menor),then after aplauses goes sonata c-moll(do minor),then A dur(la major) and re minor(d-moll)...The indexes are totally wrong as well,but,anyways,thank you for posting....

  • Right, the index is from the cd and he is wrong.

  • Michelangeli had laws only he could follow, and for all the carping of some here, this post has still won plaudits. Bravo, Michelangeli! (:-D)

  • Extraordinary pianism, however I'm unconvinced with the breakneck tempo of the first one.

  • Horowitz is a great Scarlatti performer. My entire opinion of him is based on his Scarlatti recordings; the rest, I could do without. Michelangeli handles this sonata very well, perhaps a tad bit slower, but otherwise great. I could not image a better interpretation. Only Lipatti could have possibly played it better if he had ever played it.

  • Scarlatti needs to breathe more; these are well played but other performers, Horowitz, for instance, have a better sense of timing.

  • Il personaggio piu'discusso nella storia pianistica del Suo tempo: un sensibilità ed un orecchio unico che a volte gli hanno impedito di esibirsi come avrebbe preteso, sottraendosi al pubblico all'ultimo momento. Una mano pressochè infallibile, un volto infallibile....

  • No, sorry to say, but he is right.

  • Lovely playing. Thank you!
