Our Take

Mikhail Pletnev, the enigmatic Russian pianist, takes on the baroque master Domenico Scarlatti in his latest album "Scarlatti/Piano Sonatas." Known for his unconventional interpretations and unorthodox approach to classical music, Pletnev brings a fresh perspective to these timeless works.

From the moment you press play, it's clear that Pletnev is not here to play by the rules. He infuses each sonata with a sense of whimsy and playfulness, turning what could be dry and stuffy into a lively and engaging listening experience. His fingers fly across the keys with a precision and agility that is truly awe-inspiring.

One standout track is Sonata in D minor, K. 1, where Pletnev showcases his technical prowess with lightning-fast runs and cascading arpeggios. The dynamic range he achieves is nothing short of incredible, from delicate pianissimos to thunderous fortissimos.

But it's not all just flashy keyboard acrobatics – Pletnev also brings a sense of depth and emotion to his playing. In Sonata in A major, K. 208, he captures the lyrical beauty of Scarlatti's melodies with a sensitivity and musicality that is truly breathtaking.

Overall, "Scarlatti/Piano Sonatas" is a masterful showcase of Pletnev's talent and artistry. Whether you're a die-hard classical music fan or just looking for something a bit different, this album is sure to delight and surprise. So sit back, relax, and let Mikhail Pletnev take you on a musical journey like no other.
