ALVISE DE PIERO,1 CD - 2024

Notes

This album is the second of the collection dedicated to the Harpsichord Sonatas by Baldassare Galuppi made by Alvise De Piero. About the first volume it was written:

« The nine Harpsichord Sonatas by Baldassare Galuppi, at their world premiere recording, in the excellent performance of Alvise De Piero, reaffirm the heterogeneous character of the author himself in the wake of the circulation of ideas in an era devoted to the cosmopolitan enlightenment ». (Guido Michelone, Il manifesto)

"In terms of performance, harpsichordist Alvise de Piero gives pride of place to these works. His rhythm is always appropriate to the music and his touch on the instrument can vary from firm to delicate. His register variations on this two-manual instrument are functional to the music and give beautiful expression to Galuppi's often lyrical voice." (Bertil van Boer, Fanfare Magazine)
