Our goal was to render with the utmost clarity the artist’s nuanced and richly coloured interpretation, which truly defines this music. Equally, we aimed to deliver a veridical sonic impact of the Tamburini Organ housed in the Sala Scarlatti in Naples, with its impressive count of over 4,000 pipes.
We sincerely hope that this dedication reaches your ears, transporting you to that authentic moment of performance.
This album is an audacious journey into the heart of Domenico Scarlatti’s music, reinterpreted through a modern lens.
The multifaceted organist Livia Mazzanti steps away from a purely philological approach to "transmute" the Sonatas, originally intended for the harpsichord, through the powerful and versatile voice of the instrument designed by Jean Guillou for the Naples Conservatory in the 1980s.
In an act of profound admiration and interpretive freedom, Mazzanti explores Scarlatti’s most intimate and most grandiose nuances, establishing a dialogue between two keyboard virtuosos—both experimentalists and equally at home across cultural borders.
The inherent imperfections of the instrument—which is currently awaiting restoration—lend a poetic and compelling character to the sound, making this pressing an unrepeatable testament to the extraordinary equidistance between past and future, between the Neapolitan soul and French ingenuity.
