ALESSANDRO SCARLATTI
Complete Keyboard Works, Volume 2


Alexander Weimann, organ

ACD2 2528
2 CD Set

To celebrate the 350 anniversary of the birth of Alessandro Scarlatti, Alexander Weimann continues his project of recording the complete keyboard works of this great Italian baroque composer.   This oeuvre comprises some 30 toccatas and variations, the scores of which are conserved in the collections of European and American libraries.   Some of these works have never been recorded before.

Recently appointed Artistic Director of the Pacific Baroque Orchestra, Alexander Weimann is one of the most sought-after ensemble directors, soloists, and chamber music partners of his generation.   He has travelled the world as a member of Tragicomedia, as a guest of Freiburger Barockorchester, Gesualdo Consort, Tafelmusik, and as music director of Les Voix Baroques and Le Nouvel Opéra.
