Variations on
a theme by Scarlatti

For his debut solo CD, Porat here meets the challenge of a visionary programme built up from the basis of Scarlatti's Sonata in D Minor K32. The 24 pieces that follow- from Bach to Boulez by the way of Chopin and Debussy- all use the same motif, as if they were all variations on a theme. The result is a fascinating network of correspondences and interconnections that, strangely, makes us listen in an entirely new way.
