The son of Alessandro Scarlatti, who created a new school of opera in Naples, Domenico Scarlatti is particularly distinguished for his remarkable series of 555 surviving keyboard sonatas, written while employed at the Spanish court in Madrid largely as exercises for his pupil the Infanta Maria Barbara, who became Queen of Spain in 1746.
This significant addition to early 18th century keyboard repertoire has in all its variety long provided a valuable repertoire for pianists.
Colleen Lee was a Finalist in the 2005 International Frederick Chopin Piano Competition.
