exquisite playing and selections.

What a beautiful L27.Very nice clarity of playing. No damper pedal for this guy. He is not afraid of scales.
-
Really lovely Scarlatti playing 5*.. Thanks for posting

I think Padre Antonio Soler was Scarlatti's pupil.

The Soler- I don't know much about. But your Scarlatti is truly amazing!

Buenas versiones. Lástima que la excesiva velocidad mate la espiritualidad deliciosa de la última sonata. Suele decirse que la velocidad es el pecado capital de los pianistas, algo que sin duda aquí ocurre. Scarlatti no siempre procura parecer un derroche de pirotecnia: a veces se permite la instrospección, la delicadeza, incluso la profundidad. Es algo que Koji Attwood no supo ver en la última sonata.

How come he plays the beginning of the Soler sonata all choppy? Its not due to lack of talent, the rest of the song is 110% perfect. Its like he cant move his hands fast enough for it not to sound out of step...but then the rest of the song is magic fingers....anyone else notice?

@brian4480 I actually wanted to imitate a guitar in the opening, but as someone else mentioned below, to smooth it out, perhaps it's best to cross hands there.

@Thracozaag Oh i see, I play a little guitar myself. Do you play a classical guitar or "regular" guitar? Its good to see a person of your talent mixing in other influences. BTW Please don't think i was insulting your playing...you wickedly awesome, do you have a video of you playing Sonata 90 Fis By Soler?

@brian4480 I wish I could play either! But I get my kicks with a guitar transcription every so often. No worries about the "insult", it was a very legitimate quibble, something I was myself questioning when I was learning it, and even more so, upon repeated hearings. In any event, thanks for listening and the comments.
