He is building a reputation as one of the most imaginative harpsichordists in the U.S., giving some 20 solo recitals a year and lecturing about the music he plays. Valenti has begun a musical marathon: recording all 555 of Scarlatti's gemlike Sonatas (for Westminster). In the past three years he has completed 72, but half seriously...
