Which I found to be much too tame. i redid it in a different style, and it didnt turn out njote-perfect, but tell me if you think it is acceptable.
THANKS!

The difference in these two recordings is really striking.  I wish people would do this more often, that is publish another version after thje first version has been critiqued.  I like this much more not just because of the superior instrument and sound quality, but because it has so much more life and vibrancy. 

I don't like a lot of today's recordings of Scarlatti, which are so sentimental, and post-Horowitz - not like Horowitz's dignified and characterful readings at all, but like a parody of them (listen to Sudbin's travesty for instance).  This has a real masculine, forward-driving character which I think is totally appropriate to the piece.

I played this and have a secret to make the octave leaps much more accurate (it doesn't involve any redistribution of hands).  I will PM you with it.

Bravo!
