BUY NOW!
Domenico Scarlatti redefined the possibilities of keyboard music, blending the grandeur of the Baroque with the emerging vitality of the Classical era. He found his artistic sanctuary at the royal court of Portugal in the employ of Queen Maria Bárbara, a pivotal role that generated a remarkable synthesis of Italian and Spanish musical traditions. The works included in this collection thoroughly explore the capabilities of both instrument and player, with thrilling inventiveness, dazzling virtuosity and beautiful lyricism, which encapsulate Scarlatti’s legacy as a trailblazer in this genre. Key features: • Appearing here in his Naxos debut, Rixiang Huang won the First Prize at 2021 Chopin International Piano Competition in Hartford as well as the Los Angeles International Liszt Piano Competition in 2021, and is a much-acclaimed Steinway Artist whose performances have captivated audiences across four continents. • Recent releases in this edition include Vol. 28 (Naxos 8.573938) which appeared in September 2023 with another Naxos debut from pianist Sang Woo Kang, whose recording was admired by Jed Distler of ClassicsToday.com : ‘Kang’s entry in Naxos’s ongoing complete Scarlatti survey has much to recommend it’.

Most of these miniature pieces were inspired by the musical folklore of Salgado’s home country, while works such as the Sanjuanito futurista and the Violin Sonata are more modernist. From the lullaby Aldita to the folk-dance infused Piano Quintet No. 2 , these world premiere recordings reveal a vibrant and
creative voice. Key features: •

This release follows a first volume on Naxos 8.579128 released in January 2023 which was admired by BBC Music Magazine for its ‘Beautiful performances in crystal-clear sound’. Luis Humberto Salgado is virtually unheard of on recordings, and as part of our Latin American Classics series we hope to raise the profile of this surprisingly neglected but brilliant and highly diverse composer. •
Of Vol. 1 the American Record Guide commented that ‘Salgado is a very fine composer who deserves much wider exposure, and the Kansas Virtuosi have done the music world a great service by recording these works’. • Kansas Virtuosi are artist faculty members and alumni of the School of Music at the University of Kansas. With individual performance credentials spanning six continents, major symphony orchestras, and leading opera and musical theatre companies, the ensemble represents the finest collection of musical artists in the state of Kansas and the American Heartland.
