Murray Perahia plays Handel and Scarlatti
Release Date: March 04, 1997 SK62785 CD Longplay Murray Perahia solidifies his reputation as peerless master pianist with each release. His recording of Chopin Ballades (SK 64399) met with critical acclaim and won a number of prestigious awards. Unlike many artists, Perahia has restricted the repertoire he performs and records, so this venture into a new musical period is a particular joy. On this recording, Perahia explores the keyboard music of George Frideric Handel and Domenico Scarlatti -- his first exploration of the Baroque solo keyboard repertoire. These works sparkle with Perahia's distinctive interpretive skills, showing off his gifts for crystalline clarity and poetic understatement. The Times raves that "His Scarlatti is an unfailing delight." Rarely performed on the piano, these familiar pieces constitute a superb program to show off the extraordinary gifts of this glorious pianist, Murray Perahia |
