Francesco Corti
Scarlatti's son knew the rules of the sonata but enjoyed bending them elegantly; he, in turn, challenged the harpsichord to produce sounds it wasn't supposed to. Francesco Corti—the harpsichord great who scored a hit in 2024 with his recording of Scarlatti's sonatas—and the most adventurous of the Baroque giants, meet in a corner of the keyboard repertoire where the only law is that there are no laws.
