{"product_id":"scarlatti-corti-man-of-genius-cd","title":"Scarlatti \/ Corti - Man Of Genius [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eHaving dedicated his first two albums for Arcana to Johann Sebastian Bach (Little Books, A480) and Georg Friedrich Handel (Winged Hands, A499), Francesco Corti turns to Domenico Scarlatti, the third great keyboardist of the 1685 generation. For this recording, he selected a group of sonatas copied in the years 1752 and 1753, strictly organised in pairs. Concentrating on works from the same period, it showcases the composer's extraordinary ability to stretch the boundaries of the sonata form and to extensively elaborate his thematic material. Instrumental virtuosity and an experimental approach to the harpsichord sound go hand in hand with an astonishing formal freedom, combined with a playful sense of structure and expectation. Corti has chosen to perform these sonatas on a Humeau harpsichord, a copy of Italian models (courtesy of Bertrand Cuiller), and record them at the Royaumont Abbey.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3760195735688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Arcana Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.4.24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52223164645607,"sku":"670124","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.triathletestore.com\/products\/scarlatti-corti-man-of-genius-cd","provider":"Triathlete Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
