Scarlatti: Best Keyboard Sonatas (LP)

In 1985, to celebrate the 300th anniversary of Scarlatti’s birth, French radio broadcast a weekly series of Scarlatti Sonatas played by Scott Ross. By the end of the series, Ross had recorded the world’s 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.
