The Catalan composer Antonio Soler spent much of his life as a monk at the 16th century Spanish monastery, the Escorial. In addition to his monastic duties he was expected to train the choir, provide choral music for services and supply the Royal family with secular and instrumental music during their frequent visits. Despite his onerous official duties, Soler found time to compose 150 varied and colourful keyboard sonatas, which often feature Spanish folk-song and dance elements. Highlights of this eleventh volume include the exuberant and virtuoso Sonata in C major, the Sonata No. 65 with its masterful flow of counterpoint, and the Sonata No. 62 which has an almost Mozartian charm and grace.
