Guillermo Brachetta

Harpsichordist

I wish I could carve my own chess figures.

I wish I could write the novel of the century.

I wish I could build my own house.

I wish I could paint the Amsterdam sunset in all its spring colours.

I can make music, which is the miracle of having all that together.

Following much critical acclaim for his debut solo album, Ciaccona and the dazzling Divine Noise, harpsichordist Guillermo Brachetta returns to the Resonus label with Concerto, a thrilling programme of works for one and two harpsichords composed senza ripieno.
This stunning album features J.S. Bach's Italian Concerto, the second part of his Clavier-Übung, and solo concerti from Wilhelm Friedemann Bach and Carl Heinrich Graun. Brachetta is joined by Menno van Delft for the original two-harpsichord version of J.S. Bach's Concerto a due cembali in C major, BWV 1061a.
'The highlight of the programme is the exuberant and no-holds-barred performance of J. S. B[ach]’s C major double concerto in which the players both inspire and steady each other, making sensible use of their instruments’ resources to enhance the inbuilt contrasts still further.'
