From Lisbon to Madrid with Scarlatti

"From Lisbon to Madrid" was chosen as the title of this CD to display the influence of Portugal and Spain upon Domenico Scarlatti and also the influence that he, in turn, had upon those Iberian composers who followed him. Some comments from appreciative listeners: "extremely well performed with great sensitivity for harmonic structures, agogic refinements, and clear presentations of melody" "life-enhancing" "an absolute joy." Early Music Review said: "fine, outgoing, interesting playing which could hold its own with anything else now available. Most enjoyable." BBC Music Magazine, Jan 2001 has given the CD 5 stars for performance and sound and says: "Penelope Cave's immaculate yet wholeheartedly spirited playing, on a gloriously warm modern copy of a Portuguese harpsichord, throws light on familiar Scarlatti. Highly recommended."
