Scarlatti, D: Keyboard Sonata K46 in E major

Trevor Pinnock, a global figure in the early music movement for more than thirty years, gives critically acclaimed performances of keyboard music by Scarlatti, Rameau, Greene, Arne and Handel.

‘The playing is first rate and the recording outstanding in its presence and clarity. There are few better anthologies of Scarlatti in the catalogue.’ Penguin Guide of Scarlatti

‘Pinnock chose a mellow instrument here, making his stylish, crisply rhythmic performances even more attractive. Excellent recording.’ Penguin Guide of Rameau

Vladimir Horowitz was born in Kiev in 1903. He made his debut in the United States at the Carnegie Hall in 1928, where he became an overnight success, and spent the rest of his career based in America. Although throughout this time he remained pathologically insecure about his own abilities, withdrawing from public appearances for several years at a time, he is remembered as one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century. He died in New York in 1989.
