Baldassare Galuppi (1706-1785) Sonatas For Harpsichord
This in the second Album of the collection dedicated to Balsassare Galuppi Hapsichord Sonatas by Alvise De piero. About the first releases, it has been said: The nine Sonatas for Harpsichord by Baldassare Galuppi, in the excellent world premiere recording by Alvise De Piero, reiterate the heterogeneous character of the author himself in the wake of circulation of ideas in an era devoted to cosmopolitan enlightenment . (Guido Michelone, Il manifesto) As for the performance, harpsichordist Alvise de Piero does these works proud. His pace is always appropriate for the music, and his touch on the instrument can vary from decisive to delicate. His registral variations on this two manual instrument work very well for the music and give a nice expression to Galuppis often lyrical voice . (Bertil van Boer, Fanfare Magazine)
