Piano: ANDREA BACCHETTI.
The Italian newspaper La Repubblica calls him almost the “most talented Bach pianist” in Italy, and Andrea Bacchetti has given concerts internationally on the world’s largest classical music stages.
When Bacchetti talks about Bach, he calls his music “his life, his day and his night”. Hardly any other pianist manages to read Bach’s music in such a modern and precise way as the interpreter from Genoa does. On his latest release, he has now devoted himself to the second part of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Well-Tempered Piano Book, one of the key works of the Baroque era, on whose music Bacchetti has specialized for years. For example, his recording of unreleased Scarlatti sonatas won the ICMA Award.
In this recording, too, Bacchetti knows how to provide Bach’s musical microcosm with the necessary sharpness and thus complete a cycle that makes one sit up and take notice in his interpretation.
