"Scarlatti" is the new album from the internationally renowned pianist Lucas Debargue. This stunning new album features 52 beautiful sonatas by Scarlatti-often considered ne of the most influential composers of the Baroque era. Debargue started taking piano lessons at the age of 11. At the 2015 International Tchaikovsky Competition , Debargue was awarded the coveted Moscow Music Critic's Prize. Debargue has performed at numerous prestigious music venues including the Royal Festival Hall, Wigmore Hall, the Berlin Philharmonic hall , Carnegie Hall and the Concertgebouw. Debargue has won many awards including the highly regarded Echo Klassik award in 2017. Scarlatti (1685-1757) was a baroque composer who spent most of his life composing for the Portuguese and Spanish royal families. Scarlatti's music has been praised by acclaimed composers and musicians including Bach, Mozart, Brahms, Horowitz and Pogerelich.
"Though his readings are unabashedly pianistic, they exhibit more than a passing acquaintance with contemporary Baroque performance practice...One of the joys of this generous set is the expressive clarity of Debargue's piano sound, unclouded by pedal...he sounds both completely on top of his game and staking out new interpretative territory with confident mastery. By any measure, this is an ambitious project, handsomely realised." Gramophone
"Excelling in many of the lesser known sonatas, he revels in Scarlatti's lack of orthodoxy, in the unnerving fluctuation of K250, or in the way contemplation turns into manic bursts of laughter in K242. Sony's sound is superb and their presentation lavish." International Piano
