Domenico Scarlatti wrote many of the 555 sonatas for keyboard while serving as court musician to Maria Barbara in Spain; she was one of his students. As a youngster, Scarlatti's first musical studies were most likely under the careful scrutiny of his father, Alessandro Scarlatti, the famous opera and cantata composer of the Baroque era. This is an all too familiar scenario that happened in families during that time. The Gabrielis, Giovanni and Andrea (nephew and uncle, respectively) wrote much church music for antiphonal groups of instrumentalists and vocalists.

In this video clip, Richard Bosworth is playing two sonatas, D Minor (L.366) and E Major (L.23). They were performed as part of a joint recital in Oregon during the late 1990's.

  • It's not necessarily productive to make comparisons, but this performance has all the subtlety of Horowitz at his Moscow recital. Bravo!

  • Like I said on the Mendelsohn 2nd concerto...This guy has a good sense of expression, something few pianists can say!

  • To transfer Sonata L.23 from harpsichord to piano, without making this effort sound blocky-clunky, is a marvellous accomplishment. He does it.

  • I love your playing. Estoy seguro de que scarlatti pensó en ti en algun momento cuando estaba componiendo sus sonatas! =D

    You're the best! I'm thinking about to write your name in my right hand, maybe I would became more lucky, and best pianist! :) 5 estrellas

  • How does one spell "precision"? B-O-S-W-O-R-T-H! Exquisitely! Nice nuances particularly in the E Major. BV
