Although he has recorded one-off projects for Black Box Classics, Koch, and the defunct Unicorn Kanchana label, the overwhelming majority of Frith's work has been for the Naxos label. For Naxos he has recorded the music of Bax, Schumann, the complete piano concertos of John Field, and the complete piano music of Felix Mendelssohn.
Frith is also greatly interested in chamber music with piano, and in he joined the Gould Piano Trio as its resident pianist. Sonata In F Major, K. Sonata In G Major, K. Sonata In D Major, K. Sonata In A Major, K.

The only drawback to Frith's playing is that he sometimes breaks up sections with pauses that make the piece sound choppy--an example is the first sonata on the CD, K The second half opens with a wonderful and uncommon example of consistent 4-voiced counterpoint in a passage in g minor that is given an almost identical repeat in c minor.
It's hard to see why Frith needs to make a break between these two passages, but he does. As always in this series, there are comparatively unknown sonatas, like the excellent K , as well as well-known works like K Most take this sonata at a faster pace than Frith to show off--because it demands difficult hand-crossing throughout.
Frith certainly doesn't play slowly, but he retains enough control to use dynamic contrast effectively in one of the best performances I've ever heard. I could say the same about the whole recording, a bargain at any price. One person found this helpful.
This is a great CD. I have enjoyed listening to it very much. I am collecting all the Scarlotti recordings in this series. Each CD has a different pianist. None of disappointed so far. In one of his published collections, he indicated that the Essercizi offer 'no profound Learning, but rather an ingenious Jesting with Art, to accomodate you to the Mastery of the Harpsichord.
This, the fifth in the ongoing series of recordings of all of Scarlatti's sonatas, features yet another fine pianist, Benjamin Frith, known to me only from earlier recordings from the Romantic literature Schumann, Mendelssohn, Weber and John Field.
All have been worthwhile issues, except possibly that of Ms Long, which lacked spine and spirit. This issue takes its place proudly with the other 'keepers. But they are musical, lively, cleanly and spiritedly played. And you can't beat the price. The series as a whole maintains high standards, while to be sure certain of the issues stand above their peers. This fifth volume, played by pianist Benjamin Frith is one such.
It focuses on some very reflective sonatas, and he plays them with exquisite color, tonal control, lyricism and refinement. That is not to say he is unable to toss handfuls of lit firecrackers when the composer demands it, but even then the music seems to have space to sing and doesn't feel unduly driven. Of the many many discs of Scarlatti sonatas I own, this one has brought me particular pleasure.
