Enrico Pieranunzi - Enrico Pieranunzi Plays J. S. Bach G. F. Handel D. Scarlatti 1685 (2011)

"Maybe one day," says the pianist, "astrologers or numerologists, researchers of those symbols that seem to mysteriously connect the most distant events and deeds, will be able to explain this to us... we, on the other hand, can only marvel at the appearance one after another in the musical heavens in that fateful year 1685 (more precisely, February, March and October) or, if you like, three new stars: Handel, Bach and Scarlatti. Three stars whose orbits intersected from time to time, but for the most part followed independent trajectories, whose traces can still be observed sweeping across the universal firmament." Pieranunzi masterfully re-reads the pages of these three composers with the practicality and skill of a person who has mastered the language of classical music and knows how to combine it with improvisation.
