CD REVIEWS - Column  Piano e Forte  by Gian Paolo Minardi

Between the last generations of our pianists, every year more and more crowded by the stringent sequence of the Context, Andrea Bacchett’s figure got his own importance, as far as originality is concerned, in a comparison with some efficience-models to which the young Genoese pianist seems to oppose more inventive patterns.
It’s significant that he thought to expose such his intentions in a sort of self-portrait composed of 3 CDs; in the last one two Berio’s sonatas are associated to Luciano Berio’s 6 Encores; as to show the stylistic abyss that separates these two compositors becomes a goad for the player, who, if on one hand loosens a fluent, eloquent but in any way stiff Mozart, on the other one he penetrate in Berio’s grids with a determination that is equal to the curiosity to look for which reasons hide behind the more exposed diagram of the play.

And actually the result is to give a temper to each of these brief pages, even seeing that sort of white heat that the very apparent casualness would hardly let us suspect.
