Domenico
Scarlatti (1685-1757) Sonatas
(arranged for guitar by Stephen Marchionda)
"This glorious recording takes me back
to some of the best days in my musical memory. The excellence of
the music, the mastery of the playing, and the outstanding SACD
audio engineering together come as close as I can remember to some
live recitals I’ve heard in Madrid or Barcelona. This album
of harpsichord sonatas transcribed by solo guitarist Stephen
Marchionda is a gem."
Fanfare Magazine
“Marchionda's arrangements of these sonatas are impressively
idiomatic.”
Gramophone Magazine
“The guitar is almost unrivalled in its status as the
instrument of Spain. Scarlatti’s works embody the temperament
of the Iberian Peninsula with an unusual intensity. When combining
these two elements with the highly virtuosic and colourful playing
of Stephen Marchionda, we discover a totally different side to these
wonderful works which, mostly, have not been recorded on the guitar
before and which, however, sound as though they were meant to be
performed on this instrument.”
