About
Whatever the case, what we are left with is a unique composition which for a great deal of time has been considered as a purely theoretical exercise and one which was not intended to be performed. Nowadays, however, many experts think otherwise and among them is Fabio Bonizzoni, who is convinced that this is music written for a keyboard instrument, and very likely for a harpsichord. Our musician, who hails from Milan, has opted with his recording for the structure of Bach’s first autograph version, the so-called P200 manuscript, making use of an additional harpsichord for four of the contrapuncti, something which was suggested by Bach himself in that manuscript.
Fabio Bonizzoni, whose artistry is currently particularly being appreciated on account of his memorable series of recordings of Handel’s Italian cantatas, presents with this album one of his own most personal projects.
