Bravissimo!! Interpretazione da brivido di una sonata ...da brivido. Grazie!!!

So great was Domenico Scarlatti that his music still delight us today and forever will.

This is beautifully transporting. If you will just listen and suspend all judgement and comparisons, just listen, you will find that each artist has something to say in each performance that has never been said before. That is the beauty of one piece of music showing it's various facets. Turn each piece as you would gaze upon a diamond and you will see the sparkle that each person adds to it.

Such a beautiful performance of my favorite Scarlatti sonata. Haunting and deep. Thank you, Spencer Myer. I feel I've discovered a kindred fraternity of lovers of K87!

I loved it but I though he didn't leave long enough pauses betwen each segment. Other than that - wonderful!

Hi Abby, yes, you have. K. 87 is arguably at the pinnacle of Scarlatti's 500+ keyboard sonatas.

simplement SUBLIME ! On dirait que vous touchez le ciel en jouant cette pièce. Magnifique! vous traitez le piano avec une fine délicatesse . Quelle pureté! Merci et Bravo

very soullful very fitting for our time

Beautiful. Peaceful. Perfect.

Oberlin has trained Mr. Myer well. This is one of Scarlatti's most sublime creations. It is truly a gift to all those who come across it, be it to play or absorb. So painful to imagine that he crafted all of these jewels for the obese Spanish queen, Maria Barbara, who surely as a student didn't appreciate their exquisite depth, as she evidently found greater pleasures elsewhere in her court.

thank you spencer.. your playing creates an atmosphere which is unique.

What a beautiful rendition. I thought that only Horowitz could play this sonata superbly. I was wrong. I’m sorry I missed your masterclass at Catholic University in DC!

It is wonderful! what a discovery

It's like if the same Scarlatti were singing. Bravo

Very contemplative music and performance!

Scarlatti to perfection.

I agree with previous comments. Arguably the most beautiful sonata of D. Scarlatti, performed here to perfection, with melodic lines clearly coming out. For example the second voice from 3:37 (b - c sharp - d - c sharp...). Beautiful.

Splendid. Mr Myer uses the pedal for this baroque sonata, and just for this once I agree. To play the descending and ascending series of fifth chords legato is next to impossible without it.

A moving performance of a truly great sonata. One thing I particularly like about it is that Spencer Myer sticks to the original manuscript score. If I had to pick one note of this sonata for special praise, it would be the A sharp in the tenor of the first beat of bar 22: once you have heard that, A natural feels lifeless, disappointing. Almost uniquely among the performances posted on KZread, Spencer Myer nails it.

ottimo!!!perfetto,,complimenti,,,perfetto!!!!:)incredible,

Beautiful!

I love this soulful interpretation - even more than Horowitz.

That's absolutely true! Even the repeats are being played in two different and unique interpretation!

His fingers are like legs of a tarantula. I'm utterly impressed.

flawless

Amazing interpretation... Horowitz-like !

best sonata ever by d scar

superbe, quel bonheur d'écouter ce pianiste!A quand un concert en France ?

this guy is going to play at my college! woohoo!

one of best interpretatio of this!!! Even Pogorelich do a good work in K 87

Following your recommendations. It is better to show than to tell. This is remarkably beautiful. What a wonderful legato and melodiousness. Am checking out your other recommendations, but also check out Glenn Gould and Bach...best

Oh Spencer.

Beautifully done, but unlike smithsherman (2 comments earlier), I absolutely love Pogorelich's interpretation. Is there a more passionate piano piece than this? Not to my ear.

Would appreciate any guitarrist suggestions. Best regards....

haha, ik dacht precies hetzelfde!

Sublime!!!!!!!

I like it just fine this way ... as you say, a matter of taste. I'd vary the dynamics a bit more myself.

Great interpretation with high sensitivity - like Clara Haskil. But alittle bit to slow (for me)

The music has so many layers, the pianists need to separate all of those layers. In order to do that, the pianists need to really concentrate so that they can really hear each layer. One way is to concentrate by looking at something not distracting.

Nice. But I like Pletnev interpretation.

A lovely, lovely performance. But why does playing this piece cause EVERYONE to look at the ceiling?

In the end of most of the frazes you are slowing down annecessarily. It is a bit to much for me. Pity, because your playing is magnificent in ather aspects

Yeah, the guy 'breathes' between musical phrases! What an thoroughly unecessary thing to do! A bit more practise with the metronome and he could play more strictly in time- and hence 'better'.

cziffra1980 this guy can play in time but he's choosing to let the phrases come out by adding rubato. It's all a matter of taste.
