This is pure undiluted madness in the hands of a genius.

Much to aggressive for my tastes. The instrument does not have the "depth" necessary for this piece but I am spoiled on hearing it played by Puyana on the hass 3 manual one. Also, the tempo is a bit to fast IMHO .And YES Viral, Scarlatti WAS way ahead of his time !!

@zyxonian This specific instrument doesn't have a 16" stop. But I can encourage you to listen to the Balbastre CD by Elizabeth Farr. Wonderful recording of a great instrument with a 16" stop. I'm not sure if that CD is on youtube. I might upload it in the future.

@mrmolinodelahoz I am pretty sure he has a 16' stop on this recording

incredible!
didn't know that harpsichord could take such an aggressive approach on this piece.

Estoy de acuerdo contigo, DBJ06... aunque en esta sonata particularmente Hantaï saca lo que de violento hay en ella...

nice interpretation but personaly I like best the scott ross version,, and the rafael puyana´s one,, available here on youtube,,

Pierre Hantai has a real spirit without being overly Iberic.
the instrument sounds good for this music just 2 8s.
I live in Spain and this has a genuine sound whith others miss.
perhaps, only perhaps, a bit too hasty

Yes, well spoken. Though Hantai and Scarlatti often gives an extreme (in a good way) result, which will probably take some getting used to.

Scarlatti is very extreme here, which Hantai nicely showed us.
