Diego Barber - Scarlatti Sonatas (2025) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

There are often instances where an artist’s genius is not truly recognized until well after their passing. This is often due to the circumstances during his or her lifetime not being conducive to his or her discovery or widespread appeal. Such is the case of Baroque composer Domenico Scarlatti, who has only in the past century begun to be recognized as one of the period’s greatest composers.

Guitarist Diego Barber discovered Scarlatti’s music through his mentor, and celebrated guitarist, Riccardo Gallén, who had Barber rapt with attention in a performance of Scarlatti’s Sonata No. 27. After hearing vocalist Theo Bleckmann performing a Schubert lieder with Uri Caine, Barber decided to adapt Scarlatti’s sonatas for guitar and voice, thus birthing his new recording, Scarlatti Sonatas.

Domenico Scarlatti grew up in the shadow of his famous father, Italian opera composer Alessandro Scarlatti. The younger Scarlatti found his muse in Queen Barbara of Braganza, for whom he was her Court harpsichord master and musical teacher.
