Wow. What a fertile imagination D. Scarlatti had. A piece to stimulate both intellect and emotion. And played so beautifully. I listen to a piece of music like this and then some contemporary pop song and it leaves me despairing for the human race. They really don't write them like they used to. richard --
That's certainly true of the popular music . . . but then on the other hand what we're hearing in this video isn't from what was the popular music of its time. And today you can find some new good classical music being written, and played in videos on UA-cam. Classical music DID have a bad slump during the middle and late-middle 20th Century, but now it's getting good again. I suspect that the recent great radiation is driven by (somewhat) affordable sequencing and sound synthesis software that actually sounds good, but that can't be the whole explanation, because the revival of good sound was already starting in the 1990s (maybe even 1980s), well before such things existed.
Dear Mr. Louie,
Beautiful performance on an equally beautiful instrument. Many, many thanks.
Sincerely,

Lovely playing and presentation
