Richard Newton (harpsichord)
Arthur Cranmer (baritone)
Richard Newton has devoted the last seven years to music of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and the instruments for which it was originally written-harpsichord, bass viol, and lute. He broadcast some unpublished sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti - from his home in Birmingham in July, 1939, and tonight is giving a recital on his own harpsichord in the studio.

These two sonatas were not included in the complete edition of Domenico Scarlatti , but were found in a volume of which, so far as is known, only one copy exists.
