Skip Sempe’s solid reputation as one of the great harpsichord players of today makes this long awaited release of Scarlatti Sonatas (his first recorded Scarlatti performances) a must for all lovers of the harpsichord, as well as for all admirers mind bending virtuosity. He is joined by Olivier Fortin, already known for his many concerts and recordings of two-harpsichord programmes with Skip Sempé.

"I decided to play only my favorites, which have never really changed in all these years."
— Skip Sempé on his selection of Scarlatti sonatas for "Duende."

"Instrumentation in much Baroque music is specially conceived to work on human emotions through the magic use of sound and texture."
— Julien Martin

From the suave and seductive melodies of the Renaissance madrigal to the virtuoso solo and concerto repertoire of the Baroque, the young French recorder player Julien Martin is gaining an outstanding reputation for his charismatic and persuasive performances on the premiere “original” instrument in the revival of the repertoire ranging from the Middle Ages to the high Baroque.
