Description
In a new recording by Alvise de Piero (Harpsichord), this CD presents selected sonatas from Baldassare Galuppi's extensive book of keyboard sonatas known as 'il Buranello', including a world premiere recording of the Sonata in C Major (RA.1.01.07).
172 pieces, 400 movements, 3 compositional decades: this is the magnitude of the keyboard Sonatas of Galuppi. The indeterminacy of a specific instrument and the cultural influence of several European countries provide his music with a heterogeneous character both in formal and stylistic terms.
The Sonatas included in this Album come from several manuscripts and their musical language deliver a broad sample of Buranello's varying compositional styles.
Alvise De Piero (Venice, 1974) mainly works with instrumental and vocal music of the eighteenth century, especially the Venetian school. He specialized in harpsichord and ancient keyboard instruments under the guidance of Christopher Stembridge, and attended a PhD in Musicology and Musical Heritage at the University of Bologna.
"Alvise de Piero has researched Galuppi's 172 keyboard sonatas, publishing many, and so this recording has authority." – Choir & Organ (4 STARS)
