ANDREA BACCHETTI REVISITS BACH

J.S. Bach, who is 325 years old, is a big, strong, firm and quiet man who plays keyboard as a god and prefers the little clavichord. Andrea Bacchetti, who is 33, is a little, tiny man, a boy with a rapid impetuosity who plays grand piano as a true virtuoso. Now he presents in a CD by Dynamic the Toccatas of great Bach, compositions gifted of a reckless accuracy, balance and unlimited fluency. Is it a challenge? No, it's devotion and alliance.
