A fifth volume of Domenico Scarlatti's Sonatas from the doyen of French harpsichordists, Pierre Hantaï, of whom
Gramophone said: "an astonishing display of dexterity in which the harpsichord he uses (a 1999 copy of an anonymous
Thuringian instrument of 1720) and the acoustic help in preserving total clarity. Even at maximum velocity (did Scarlatti and
his pupil reach such speeds?) he manages to shape his phrases with micro-second dwellings...The irresistible disc is
splendidly annotated by Hantaï and beautifully packaged."
