breve concerto com quatro sonatas de Scarlatti por Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli

"He often played Balakirev's Islamey, Stravinsky's Petrushka, Suburbis by Moupou, Ravel's Valses nobles et sentimentales. La valse, too, which was phenomenal but never recorded, unfortunately. He liked jazz, playing it wonderfully, and Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. He played the Beethoven sonatas, although again in public he played only those he liked best. I remember his Moonlight well. He did it very simply: at the beginning the moon came out. He didn't like the nicknames of these pieces and often said pianists played the Moonlight like a cartoon about the sky and the stars. When he wanted to express all of himself, he played the Op. 111 sonata, which he recorded for Decca." daqui.
