DOMENICO SCARLATTI «SONATAS»

Johannes Maria Bogner   Clavichord

«In the light of his later music, it is by no means difficult to imagine Domenico Scarlatti strolling under the Moorish arcades of the Alcazar or listening at night in the streets of Seville to the intoxicating rhythms of castanets and the half oriental melodies of Andalusian chant. To them Saracen of his Sicilian ancestry and Neapolitan childhood must have responded.»
(Ralph Kirkpatrick, Domenico Scarlatti)

Domenico Scarlatti was born in Naples and received his musical education from his father, Alessandro. He ended up working at the Spanish court, as a kind of satellite of Italian origins abandoned on the Iberian Peninsula at the end of the 17th century …
The impressions of Spanish folklore must have overwhelmed him there.

Domenico Scarlatti wurde in Neapel geboren, erzogen musikalisch von seinem Vater Alessandro. Schlussendlich landet er am spanischen Hof – gleichsam als Satellit italienischer Herkunft des ausgehenden 17. Jahrhunderts, ausgesetzt auf der iberischen Halbinsel …
Dort müssen ihn die Eindrücke der spanischen Folklore überwältigt haben.
