Scarlatti composed wonderful sonatas , totally baroque unlike sounding very romantic.

. I can recommend you the horowitz recording of them, they are fabulous .

My favorites are the "The Cat Fugue" K30 K27 and K54.

Michelangeli recorded K27 but I dont really like his interpretation of it. He is too fast imo.

here's my favorite piece of Alkan : "Song of the Mad Woman on the Seashore" from his 24 Preludes - - You really see a crazy woman next to the see...very mysterious ! !
