Scarlatti: Complete Keyboard Works

On the occasion of its fortieth anniversary, Tactus presents a monumental 8-CD box set that gathers for the first time the Complete Keyboard Works by Alessandro Scarlatti, one of the most influential composers of the Italian Baroque. Famous above all for his more than 600 cantatas and numerous operas, Scarlatti was also a refined and prolific author of keyboard music, a repertoire still little explored today that reveals a composer in constant dialogue between contrapuntal tradition and new expressive demands. This box set brings together the complete compositions for harpsichord and organ, including toccatas, fugues, variations, sonatas, and liturgical pieces, testifying to the extraordinary stylistic variety of the Neapolitan master. His pages, rich in virtuosity, bold harmonies, and deep expressiveness, build a bridge between the strict counterpoint of the Roman school and the emerging galant sonorities that anticipate his son Domenico. Interpreting this vast and fascinating corpus is Francesco Tasini, one of the greatest specialists in the Italian keyboard repertoire, who performs the pieces on historical instruments (organ and harpsichord) faithfully reconstructed, thus restoring the authentic colour and original sonority of these pages. The result is a total immersion in the sound universe of one of the fathers of Western music. The fruit of rigorous philological work, this edition includes numerous world premiere recordings and represents a recording event of extraordinary historical and artistic value. A unique opportunity to rediscover Scarlatti’s genius beyond melodrama and to celebrate four decades of Tactus’s commitment to enhancing the Italian musical heritage.
