Colli was born in 1988. The booklet has a long list of his competitions, festivals, and the conductors and orchestras he has played with. On the evidence of this recording he is imaginative and enterprising. He uses the full colourful resources of his modern piano. He lets the characters change in each piece in ways that sound intuitive and natural. He has great control and takes interpretive risks.

 

Colli has organized his selections into four“chapters” of four sonatas each. These are ‘The power of illusion’ (K 19, 380, 9, 234), ‘Live happily!’ (K 492, 322, 525, 39), ‘The return to order’ (K 396, 450, 430, 1), and ‘Enchantment and prayer’ (K 197, 69, 208, 32). He breaks up Scarlatti’s pairings of sonatas in the same key, overruling the composer. Sonata 208 is extremely slow and dreamy. It’s odd not to hear the peppy sonata 209 after it, but rather another dreamy one to end the program. Sonata 39 is very fast—”live happily!” eagerly anticipate any future volumes in this series—as far as he wants to take it. There are more than 550 Scarlatti sonatas. Colli brings out the joy of the pieces, taking the listener through adventures. He outdoes both Horowitz (1960s; M/A 2004) and Pletnev (1995, not reviewed) in vigor and contrasts.
