Description:
[A New Generation of Italian Masters Explores the Essence of Bach on an 18th-Century German Double-Manual Harpsichord] A fascinating collection of Bach’s keyboard works, featuring a carefully curated selection by Cristiano Gaudio, a new-generation Italian harpsichordist. After honing his skills at the Conservatory of Music in Castelfranco Veneto, Gaudio embarked on a full-fledged career as a harpsichordist, studying under O. Beaumont and B. Lannoy at the Paris Conservatoire, and with F. Corti at the Schola Cantorum in Basel. He gained practical experience as a continuo player, invited to perform with such masters as Antonini, Lusse, Minkowski, and Onofri. While his collection of works by Handel and Scarlatti, released on the Encelade label, has been highly praised by French music magazines such as *Diapason* and *Classica*, this album, recorded for Arcana, brings together a collection of works that approach the pinnacle of Bach’s compositional techniques—including complex polyphonic writing and chromaticism—allowing listeners to fully appreciate their true value through his masterful performance. Beyond the natural presence of the organ chorales—arranged for harpsichord by the performer himself—the intricate polyphony of the “Ricercar a 6,” and the rich sonic world unfolding in Sonata BWV 964 (originally an unaccompanied violin sonata, arranged for keyboard in the 18th century), the reliability of the performance is also evident in the confident placement of the “Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue”—a piece featured on countless acclaimed recordings—at the very beginning of the album. The interpretation, which fully utilizes the mechanics of a two-manual instrument based on a German model built during the composer’s lifetime, is thoroughly rewarding to listen to. Naxos Japan
