About

This double-CD release offers some rare recordings (especially the Praeludien mit Fughetten on CD 2) played by one of Italy’s most talented and acclaimed pianists.

“Bacchetti’s style is unconventional but never iconoclastic . . . It marries a profound musical instinct with a keen and well-informed intellect, and an approach to the instrument . . . Which makes many of his colleagues seem like crude beginners. . . . He may thus never have the career he so richly deserves, but deserve it he most emphatically does” Piano Magazine

Spotlight on this release

Awards and reviews

  • BBC Music Magazine
    September 2009
    Disc of the month

October 2009

All fascinating stuff, impeccably recorded and a most enjoyable release

September 2009

There are some very fine Bach keyboard players around, but I find his highly individual style uniquely enjoyable and uplifting. Bacchetti's way of playing is hard to characterise, and impossible to in a single word. He is supremely concerned to articulate every voice, but that doesn't mean that his playing is didactic
5 out of 5 stars

More than two-and-a-half hours of Bach's solo keyboard music, sensitively played by Andrea Bacchetti…

October 2009

Bacchetti allows his luminous sonority to soar without pressure or fuss

September/October 2009

Andrea Bacchetti is a pianist at home across the whole extent of the piano literature, with his Bach playing well able to rank alongside the finest present-day exponents

September 2009

Andrea Bacchetti's playing of Bach is fluid, fluent, flexible and mellifluous

September 2009

Beautiful atmosphere and legato playing are again aspects of Bacchetti’s playing which bring me back every time
Donny Clements

[Bacchetti] plays them with spontaneous freshness and plenty of expressive life, and these two discs make very appealing listening.

Piano September 2009

Intensely personal, musically discriminating at a very high level, highly sophisticated pianistically
