It is. Reissue/repackaging of previous releases (rather than new project), but well put together with beautiful illustrated hard-cover book. I'm no expert on the music, but performances sound good and critical notices were positive.

Ross' playing is extremely accurate and all, but for my taste it lacks the Italian or rather Southern Mediterranean temperament this music encapsulates, even in the pieces he wrote before he left for Iberian regions. Southern Italy belonged to Spain at the time, and much Italian music has Spanish characteristics and vice versa. Domenico Scarlatti was open to these influences. There are plenty compilation recordings that are much better at displaying these characteristics than Ross' complete set, even though it is now available at bargain price. 

 

I like Pierre Hantaï and was planning to get his 3-disc Scarlatti compilation when it went oop and disappeared. Have been waiting to find a copy.
