About

For this his second volume of Scarlatti sonatas, Federico Colli takes as his starting point the double sonata K63 and K64. These are two dances, the first (G major) full of vivacity and happiness, the second (D minor) full of indignation and peremptoriness. Working from this concept that opposition is needed to truly experience beauty, Colli has created his own personal double sonatas by pairing works with contrasting tempi, dynamics, character, or feeling. Like the first volume, the album was recorded on a Steinway Model D at Potton Hall in Suffolk.

Reviews

... the real point of this recording is its wonderful pianism; and unlike many contemporary pianists ... Colli takes no liberties with the text. ... the kaleidoscope os shaken and shaken, creating a riveting hour, with most of the works being refreshingly unfamiliar. ... Colli’s springy touch throughout is marvellously responsive to the passing weather in the beautifully contrived landscape...  Michael Church (Recording of the Month)
