A world renowned international soloist and harpsichord teacher at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, Francesco Corti presents a collaboration with Arcana.

"Erudition and virtuosity take back seat to the sheer pleasure of music-making in one of the most enjoyable Baroque recitals I’ve heard in a very long time...Most striking is the loving performance of the Capriccio on the Departure of His Beloved Brother...Corti is able to convey this quintessentially youthful music with a persuasive candour and open-hearted enthusiasm that, I suspect, will surely spoil a few other recordings." - Gramophone Magazine, January 2021.
