Abstract:Alexandre Tharaud, now one of the most sought-after performers of Scarlatti's music, plays a collection of sonatas by the composer. In 2011, while Alexandre Tharaud has just released a disc dedicated to Scarlatti's sonatas, the critics are unanimous: The album is praised. We can notably read in the French magazine Classica: "Here is the most sensual, the most exhilarating, the most Epicurian Scarlatti [interpretation] one could ever imagine ... With this perfection of sound and this exceptional artistic freedom, we already have one of the albums of the year 2011" (Christophe Huss). Without any doubt, this beautiful Scarlatti experience helped Alexandre Tharaud receiving the Instrumental Artist of the Year Award at the 2012 Victoires de la musique classique. The 550 sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti are a milestone of the literature for harpsichord. Scarlatti composed them during his whole life, notably in Portugal. Most of them were created after the composer's death. Scarlatti's sonatas, with their binary forms, have nothing in common with the sonatas that we usually know, and whose form was defined during the classical era. Nowadays, Scarlatti's sonatas are frequently performed on the piano, but since the 1980s and the revival of early music, we often have the opportunity to hear them played on the harpsichord too. Among the most famous interpretations of these works, we can quote the one of Scott Ross, who recorded on the Erato label the complete 550 sonatas, a project in 34 discs! During the month of July 2012, we meet with Alexandre Tharaud on the stage of the Verbier Church. A guest of the prestigious Verbier Festival, Alexandre Tharaud chooses to perform a collection of the baroque composer's famous sonatas. medici.tv filmed the event to broadcast it live on the internet and now, following several months of absence, you can watch this exceptional concert as part of the medici.tv catalogue!
