About this concert
The conductor and harpsichordist Francesco Corti goes sublimely solo in this Spanish harpsichord extravaganza. The recercadas, preludes, fugues and sonatas come from the portfolios of Domenico Scarlatti, Antonio Soler, José De Nebra, Sebastián de Albero and Josep Gallés. This last figure is also our secret tip: Italian flair and Iberian folklore on a ride in an uncontrollable rollercoaster.
