French Radio Broadcast Performances On Vinyl LP!
In 1985, to celebrate the 300th anniversary of Scarlattis birth, French radio broadcast a weekly series of Scarlatti Sonatas played by Scott Ross. By the end of the series, Ross had recorded the worlds first complete version of the 555 Scarlatti sonatas. Many of the sonatas had never been recorded before, even though a limited selection had featured in the repertoire of major pianists including Horowitz, Michelangeli, Gieseking, Meyer, Haskil and Gilels for decades.
Giuseppe Domenico Scarlatti was an Italian composer who spent much of his life in the service of the Portuguese and Spanish royal families. He was one of the few Baroque composers to transition into the classical period.
