Composers of the Week: the Scarlattis

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Geoffrey Baskerville introduces music by father and son Alessandro and Domenico Scarlatti. The
Scarlatti cult that swept through England in the 1740s thanks to
Domenico's flamboyant harpsichord sonatas had its most eloquent fan in the city of Newcastle. Charles Avison reworked the sonatas into orchestral concertos, and these even warrant a mention in Sterne's
Tristram Shandy.
