Domenico Cimarosa (1749‐1801) was one of the best known composers of the Neapolitan School. He held several important musical posts throughout Europe (St. Petersburg, the Emperor Leopold in Vienna) as a highly successful composer of operas. His best known work is the opera Il Matrimonio Segreto, which brought him universal fame.
Cimarosa's output for the keyboard consists if a great number of sonatas, short, one‐movement works, charmingly melodious, witty and entertaining.
Pianist David Boldrini plays an early fortepiano, achieving a wide range of expression, from sweet murmuring to fierce brilliance.
Recorded in the Bartokstudio, Bernareggio, Italy
