Author: John Duarte
Since the withdrawal of the monumental recording of the complete sonatas by the late Scott Ross, unwisely offered only as a complete set, the race to the Scarlatti finishing post has attracted several ‘competitors’. Of those whose intent has been signalled, that by Richard Lester is making the steadiest progress and there are other good reasons why it should be considered as first choice for potential collectors of the whole oeuvre.
Although he certainly has the fingers for it he never indulges in high velocity for its own sake. Everything is in good stylistic order – and in moderation, with no trace of quirkiness. Lester has chosen to begin by recording the sonatas in the order of the 15 Venice manuscripts – mirrored in the Kirkpatrick numbering starting with Volume 2, except that Venice XIV and XV contain K43-68 and K98-116 respectively. Volume 1, containing the Essercizzi collection items and made a few years ago is being re-recorded later. As regards those from other sources, we must wait and see. This arrangement makes it easier to locate individual sonatas by their Kk numbers, it ‘automatically’ provides admixtures of ‘Kirkpatrick twins’ and singletons, and of quick-, medium- and slow-paced Sonatas. In this respect, Volume 8 is heavily weighted in favour of the ‘finger-breakers’, but that’s the way Scarlatti’s and Kirkpatrick’s delicious cookies crumbled. There’s always a price to be paid and this is a modest one.
Lester’s incipient archive of two-CD volumes offers quality, convenience and the probability of earlier completion than any of its present competitors. That is the current state of play.
