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.
