In the 16 tracks on Vertigo he creates a dramatic structure, paying homage to the form of the opera-ballet with a prelude (which includes an ouverture a la francaise) and three entrees (acts): the first honors Poetry, the second Music and the third Dance.
Vertigo was recorded at the 18th century Chateau d'Assas near Montpellier in southern France, a venue closely associated with the harpsichordist Scott Ross (1951-1989), whose epoch-making box of the complete Scarlatti sonotas was re-released on Erato in 2014.
