BERNARD BRAUCHLI

CONCERT REVIEWS

 

 

He plays with a surety and gripping passion music which plunges us into a glorious past and which is still able to charm.

Gazette de Lausanne (Switzerland), Pierre Hügli

Through sheer musicality Brauchli kept a capacity audience spell-bound.

Los Angeles Times (U.S.A.), John Henken

...the afternoon was enchanting thanks to the delicate interpretations of the performer... a heavenly moment.

Diario de Notícias (Lisbon, Portugal), José Blanc de Portugal

There was not a moment of ennui. Beyond his technique it was, above all, the interpretative intuition and the stupendous musicality of Bernard Brauchli which took precedence over the musical notes. I would even say that the more complex the music was, the greater was Brauchli’s interpretation, to the point that several of the pieces he performed can be considered unforgettable.

Il Biellese (Biella, Italy), Alberto Galazzo

The performer (Bernard Brauchli) is a true master...he plays these pages with total technical control, a profound sense of the instrument and rich musicality.

Le Provençal (Marseille, France), Jean Abel

Brauchli presented a clavichord evening characterised by a profoundly exciting interpretation which exploited all the possibilities of the instrument; in a word, inspiring.

Luzern Tageblatt (Lucerne, Switzerland)

His performance was a gratifying mixture of exuberant, contemplative and graceful elements. With well-trained fingers at his command and a thorough understanding of the music, Brauchli played with the zeal of an evangelist.

The Gazette (Montreal, Canada), Carl Urquart

Brauchli introduces (consciously or unconsciously) a degree of ornamentation that serves to draw forth the individual lines in a way that is not only elegant, but makes great musical sense as well. It is an interesting measure of his special sensitivity to the idiom of his chosen instrument [clavichord]..

Musical Quarterly (U.S.A.), Owen Jander

Your interpretations are consistently expert and your sensitivity to the pulse and flow places you in a most distinguished category.

Letter from Prof. Robert Stevenson, University of California in Los Angeles
