"Today, when Scarlatti is acclaimed among the most scintillating of innovators, choice becomes a hard if not impossible matter and Nikolai Demidenko has ranged (in this recording) far and wide among the 550 sonatas, championing, for the most part, the less familiar numbers."
A highly enjoyable disc. The clarity and precision of (Demidenko s) playing are impeccable, both tonally and rhythmically. Demidenko is brilliant and he revels in it... There is so much here to enjoy! -- Lionel Salter
