Luca Guglielmi | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

For nearly twenty years Luca has been the assistant and continuo player of Jordi Savall and his ensembles Hespérion XXI, Le Concert des Nations and La Capella Rial de Catalunya, giving concerts, from the duo to the large ensemble, all over the world.

Concurrently, from 1993 Luca Guglielmi has had a busy international career as a soloist of historical keyboards (harpsichord, organ, clavichord, fortepiano), choir master and leader of various ensembles "with original instruments"

This recording has been made on a copy (Kerstin Schwarz) of a rare very early “Fortepiano” (1749) made by the famous harpsichord and organ maker, Gottfried Silbermann. Bach himself had most probably a Silbermann a Silbermann fortepiano at his hands, which – as he wrote – he preferred very much to a harpsichord of his times. A beautiful warm sound, unusual for those times.
