Info for Scarlatti: Ombre et lumière

Anne Queffélec devoted her very first recording to Scarlatti, when she was just twenty years old. Today she returns to the world of the Italian composer with these eighteen sonatas, radiant or contemplative, virtuosic or tender, which sing of Andalusia, sunshine and joie de vivre, but also the dark shadows of melancholy. After Bach and Handel, Anne Queffélec here completes her Mirare trilogy of composers born in 1685.
