CD ReviewsWilson undermined by his instrument Al Chartreux | Upper West Side, New York, New York United States | 04/25/2003 (2 out of 5 stars) "The problem with this recording is not so much the quality of Glen Wilson's playing, but rather the instrument he is playing on- in this case, a harpsichord from 1985, which has a very harsh, metallic sound that is fairly unpleasant to the ear. It sounds like a really bad electronic synthesizer, and effectively negates any enjoyment one might receive from this album. If you enjoy Scarlatti on the harpsichord, seek out instead Christophe Rousset on Decca, Bob Van Asperen on EMI, or, if you can find it, Trevor Pinnock on Archiv. For Scarlatti on the piano, I reccomend Ivo Pogorelich on Deutsche Grammophon, Andras Schiff on Hungarton, Mikhail Pletnev on Virgin Classics, Joanna MacGregor on Collins, and of course, anything by Vladimir Horowitz."
