Katarzyna Covalique harpsichord - Scarlatti & Handel
Programme: Handel Harpsichord Suite No. 5 in E major HWV 430 Handel Air and variations "Harmonious Blacksmith" Handel Harpsichord Suite in D minor HWV 448 Dodgson Inventions Scarlatti Sonata in D minor K 9 Sclaratti Sonata in C major K 513 Sclaratti Sonata in B minor K 27 Sclaratti Sonata in A major K 208 "Fandango Event Summary: Polish-British harpsichordist Katarzyna Kowalik performs as a soloist and with period ensembles in the UK and across Europe. She was awarded the Guildhall Artist Fellowship twice after completing a Masters Degree in Historical Performance at the institution. This recital traces musical roots across borders, politics, and time. George Frederic Handel, who lived for a period in Barnes, is represented by two dazzling harpsichord suites, including the famous Harmonious Blacksmith variations. His contemporary Domenico Scarlatti, whose career spanned Italy, Portugal, and Spain, is heard in a vivid selection of sonatas and fiery Fandango. Although their paths first crossed in Italy, both composers later became entangled in the political and cultural currents of 18th-century London, where Scarlattis sonatas even appeared in a striking Jacobite edition. Their music reflects not only virtuosity and invention but also the shifting allegiances of their world. Bringing the story closer to home, the programme also honours Barnes-based composer Stephen Dodgson (19242013), whose Inventions connect modern creativity with the harpsichords long tradition. Together, these works invite us to hear how place, politics, and personality shaped musics roots in Barnes and beyond. Supported by: The Stephen Dodgson TrustRead more
