In 2012, too, there are prominent treasures to be found: Aapo Häkkinen plays Bach’s Concertos for solo harpsichord and strings – the crown jewels of the harpsichord and piano literature – on a 16’ harpsichord, that is to say, an instrument with an additional, very low sounding register. Although Bach probably used a similar harpsichord himself, this is the first recording of this cycle of works on an instrument of this kind built in a historical manner!
The Helsinki Baroque Orchestra plays one on a part, and is obliged to the best Baroque traditions. As an “encore,” so to speak, the CD also contains Bach’s famous Italian Concerto for harpsichord solo – on the 16’ instrument, it is an amazing sonic experience!
“Perhaps, indeed, a desire to prevent the rush of sound from taking over can go too far, resulting in some over-clipped articulation and cautious tempi…But when they do get going, these performances are enjoyable, even thrilling. And there appear to be no inhibitions in the rip-roaring Italian Concerto that rounds off the disc, in which the harpsichord, transported now to a church acoustic, achieves almost organ-like fullness. Wow!” March 2013 Gramophone Magazine
“Aapo Häkkinen delivers good performances of the solo part. I am less enthusiastic about the strings…it certainly is an intriguing contribution to the Bach discography.” January 2013 MusicWeb International
