Scarlatti Meets Handel, Rameau and Bach | Benjamin Alard · MarchVivo

Since moving from his native Italy to the Iberian peninsula, Scarlatti hardly traveled. Even so, the originality of his musical style found analogies in the work of some of his European contemporaries. This concert proposes a comparative listening of his sonatas with works by Handel, Rameau, and Bach, with whom he has unsuspected connections.
