    Composer: Domenico Scarlatti
    Artist: Wolfram Schmitt-Leonardy (piano)
    ‘An eagle whose wings are grown,’ according to his father Alessandro, the young Scarlatti left his native Naples for Venice, ‘escorted only by his own ability.’ By his early 20s he had already held audiences in thrall with an ability at the harpsichord which was deemed almost supernatural. There is assuredly the most prodigal imagination at work, as well as an extraordinarily sophisticated keyboard technique, in the 555 surviving keyboard sonatas which fuse Italianate cantabile and counterpoint with vivid Hispanic imagery: folksong, castanets, military trumpets and strumming guitars.
    All these qualities can be enjoyed in Wolfram Schmitt-Leonardy’s selection of 17 sonatas. Several of them are taken from the collection of Kk1-30 (in the catalogue produced by Ralph Kirkpatrick) which comes down to us as the earliest source of the sonatas in print, published shortly before he moved to Lisbon, thence to Madrid and around the royal courts of Spain, in the service of the princess who would become the Queen of Spain. Her patronage afforded Scarlatti the time and resources to evolve a highly personal style, full of eccentricity and flights of fancy.
    Hardly less than Bach, these sonatas have become for many pianists a proving ground for their own technique and imagination, rewarding an improvisatory response to their flamboyant effects. However, Schmitt-Leonardy also features several of the composer’s most poetic and reflective sonatas such as the ‘Aria’ Kk 29 and the melancholy soliloquy of Kk 208.
    German pianist Wolfram Schmitt-Leonardy is one of the leading pianists of his generation. His concert activities and CD recordings mark him as an extremely intelligent musician with the heart in the right place, his immense technical powers almost being taken for granted. Wolfram Schmitt-Leonardy was born in Saarlouis, Germany, in 1967, and his first important teacher was a student of Walter Gieseking and Edwin Fischer. His quintessentially pianistic approach to Scarlatti exploits all the colouristic possibilities of a modern grand, while articulating the quick sonatas with sparkling deftness of touch.

      Late in Scarlattis years, he almost sounded a but romantic here and there - with "spicy" harmonies. One day, i thought - "Oh, where did he meet Brahms?". It turns out, that Brahms was a great Scarlatti-fan and had a large collection of anything available by Scarlatti.

    This is divine, Wolfram Schmitt-Leonardy’s playing is ethereal channelling Scarlatti’s music clearly and beautifully. I love Bach, Handel, and Scarlatti - there is no need to choose a favourite -each has a unique genius - it depends what you need at the time. Scarlatti is always so joyful, mischievous, and dynamic; one can hear his sense of humour, but he knows mournful too. Bach is cerebral, solemn, and masterful and Handel too with so much verve and joy.
    Scarlatti, Bach, and Handel were all born in the same year 1685 - heaven sent; something in the stars in that year……..? What a gift to us all.
    Thank-you Brilliant Classics.

      Maybe among wider audience. But a long time ago I've heard that Scarlatti was on par with Bach as long as cembalo is considered. And, for instance, that Frescobaldi was on par with Bach as long as organ is considered.
      Just to add that for me Bach is God of music... but, luckily, humankind has more jewels to offer.

      I'm not quite sure about the "underrated", when all the most illustrious pianists include Scarlatti in their programmes or encores, then I would say he's rated pretty highly by those who really matter. The first of these sonatas played here is my iPhone ringing number. Scarlatti played well, as here, is never not worth hearing and whether joyous or contemplative, brings the listener repose and affection from well over two hundred years ago. The sheer variety of form and musical argument in these sonatas is astounding, and at times, you could swear that Beethoven had a hand in writing them......

    One may argue that Bach and other Germans were more rigorous in their craft but for me, it has always been the Italians who truly breathe LIFE into their music. We are too easily awed by density and complexity and forget that music is an art form which expresses the human spirit. Bach was a miraculous figure and is regarded as the greatest composer of them all by many musical geniuses, and perhaps rightly so. However, I think we have been conditioned to think this way by history. Personally, I think it's time to start looking at things differently. Scarlatti was also extraordinarily gifted in counterpoint and there are many passages where the untrained ear can be fooled into thinking his music is Bach's, but it is his ability for melody, inventiveness, and boundless innovation that most impress me. These things express who he was and how he lived, and that is art.

    This is musicianship at the highest levels. A spectacular result for the lifetime's work it takes to achieve such a thing. I've never been much a fan of Scarlatti. The Sonatas previously always felt too...uninspired. Soulless velocity. Truthfully, it can all start to sound the same. Or so it had been before. This recording breathes such depth into each work. Intimate and personal. Technically dazzling! What a gift that Wolfram Schmitt-Leonardy has shared it with us.

      Scarlatti’s sonatas were almost all written in the latter part of his life (1685-1757); he was a Baroque composer.
      The Romantic era music of the 19th century emanating from places like Germany was as alien and anachronistic to his Italian origins and Spanish residency as anything possibly could be.
      Scarlatti is a truly great composer, but not one defined by such an alien concept as the degree to which he approaches the Romantic era, the most striking thing separating him from contemporaries like JS Bach and Handel is bold originality within the sonatas, and his frequent rather exotic Spanish-isms; he is entirely of his own time, but a highly original and unique composer who stands on his own merits with his 555 sonatas as one of the greatest keyboard composers of all time.
      I love this music too, but for what it is, not for what it isn’t.

His sound and history are actually confusing to a lot of musicologists, many ranging from just overall doubts as to where he stands between Baroque music and Classical music and others denying that most of his works are actually his. Just like C.P.E. Bach, he was also the son of a notorious baroque musician (Alessandro Scarlatti) and often questioned the many rules of baroque music. His teacher once said that as a young composer he heard him say "It fails the books, but does it please the ear?". If there's not anything more to it than meets the eye, he is at least one of the most important composers to modern piano classical music.

      @@torrawel I care because his music cannot be understood unless you take on account the influence of the spanish folk music. No other "italian" composer sounds like him precisely for this reason. The problem with Bach father is not staticism, but boredom: it is always the same techniques, resources, rethorical conventions over and over and over again. It is said that Vivaldi wrote the same concert 500 times, Bruckner the same symphony 11 times... might be, but if so, Bach wrote the same sameness 1000 times. The existence of totemic idols in the history of music is proportional to the ignorance of it.

      I don't think either Rameau or Mozart knew about Scarlatti, though Mozart might have, via his London teacher Johann Christian Bach, have come across the published Essercizi. K1-30. Composers who *were* influenced by Scarlatti were Chopin and Brahms, both of whom collected unpublished manuscripts. But Scarlatti really didn't come to public notice till 1906 when Longo published most of the sonatas.

    Absolutely gorgeous playing. The first Sonata K1 reminds me a bit of the young Ivo Pogorelich. Rhythmically super crisp trills and a fantastic control of the utmost "leggiero" articulation. The second Sonata K32 with the pianists inspirational self invented (?) and daring inner counterpoint voices is delivered with such delicacy. K87 rivals the sound culture and phrasing of Horowitz. But my favourite one is the innocent K208. So much precious tenderness and consolation that I can hardly listen to it without starting to cry. This recording is a gift to every music lover and a lesson in artistic piano playing.

      I think that your comparison of Prof. Schmitt-Leonardy's playing of Scarlatti to that of the young Pogo is Spot On. With the kind of suffering that he has had to experience, Ivo should get triple Bravissimo's simply for continuing to perform in public.

    • @elaineblackhurst1509
      @elaineblackhurst1509 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Some really interesting points, though I think K208 anything but ‘innocent’, it is a searingly intense and passionate aria.
      If you are familiar with the biography and catalogue of the sonatas of Scarlatti by Ralph Kirkpatrick (he of the K numbers), you will know that hundreds of them were put into pairs - occasionally threes - which is what Kirkpatrick believed was the composer’s intention.
      As such, K208 is paired with K209, and it’s worth listening to the two sonatas as a contrasting pair, rather than simply single sonatas.
      I invariably play K208 and K209 as a pair.
