Composer: Padre Antonio Soler (1729-1783)
Harpsichordist: Pieter-Jan Belder
Father Antonio Soler was a priest and monk of the Roman Catholic church, and a renown Organist and Harpsichordist in the late 18th century Spain (Lundgren, n.d.). Soler was an avid learner; he may even have studied under Domenico Scarlatti (Lundgren, n.d.). I find that Father Antonio Soler's harpsichord solos are greatly underrated: possibly being some of the finest pieces composed for the instrument. This is the most well-known piece by Father Soler. I believe that Pieter-Jan Belder preforms one of the best interpretations of Sonata No.90. I hope you enjoy this recording.
