If we consider Domenico Scarlatti an honorary Spaniard, since half of his life was spent there, then this was an entirely Spanish programme. 

Angela Hewitt's Spanish Lanscapes offered perfect summer fare delivered with flawless execution.

The stage was set at (Le) Poisson Rouge: a royal blue curtain and a brilliant red light contrasted nicely with the shine of the black and white piano. Simple yet bold, the stage was akin to a Mondrian painting. And as Scarlatti’s notes rolled off Alexandre Tharaud’s fingers, this striking visual matched the crisp performance perfectly.
