This recital juxtaposes the crystalline keyboard writing of Domenico Scarlatti with the dark, orchestral sonorities of Rachmaninoff’s Op. 39 Études-Tableaux. The contrast is deliberate: Scarlatti’s compact sonatas combine rhythmic vitality, elegance, and keyboard invention, while Rachmaninoff’s nine studies create expansive musical “pictures” characterized by dense textures, virtuosity, and heightened emotional intensity.
