RECORD REVIEWS
Bernard Brauchli captured all the
poetry, sensitivity and restrained emotion in these soft sonorities [of the clavichord].
Here is a rare recording in all respects. Once heard, one never again forgets
the uncommon accents which are its charm.
Revue Musicale de la Suisse Romande,
Jacques Viret
(Keyboard Works of C. P. E. Bach)
Brauchli has the sensitivity of touch necessary
to play this understated instrument; even more, he has the capacity to make the
clavichord sigh and sing. The whole of this album rewards repeated listening.
One can only wish, upon hearing such a recording, for more; let us all hope
that Brauchli returns to C. P. E. Bach’s clavichord soon.
Boston Early Music News
(Keyboard Works of C. P. E. Bach)
As a guide to the special world of the
clavichord there is none better than Bernard Brauchli. To say that he is one of
the best clavichordist of our time seems faint praise, since the field is so
small. But although it is small, it is elite. His phrases have fine rhythmic
and dynamic shape. And the liberties he takes with the music have not only
historical propriety, but style and wit. He is an altogether admirable
musician.
The Musical Quarterly, Owen Jander
(The Renaissance Clavichord I)
This is in all ways a splendid disc. On
comparison, I found the Fantasia freer and more expressive than Gustav
Leonhardt’s version, the Variations richer and more convoluted than Andreas
Staier’s version, and the Prussian Sonata more cohesive than A. Uittenbosch’s
version. The other pieces were just as fine, and throughout I admired
Brauchli’s sensitive use of his difficult instrument.
Fanfare Magazine, William Youngren
(Keyboard Works of C. P. E. Bach)
At times passionate, at times discreet,
in harmony with his instrument, the performer meticulously unveils before us
the secrets of this music. His touch refines the sounds of the clavichord,
creating a plenitude of emotions which would capture and move the most
insensitive auditor.
Schweizerische Musikzeitung, Victor
Wirthner
(Sonatas of Antonio Soler)
By his reserve and complete control of
the different tone qualities Brauchli makes us forget the anachronism of
playing such music on this instrument. It is agreeable to hear how different
the music of Soler can sound with Brauchli from the brutal interpretations of
many others; sensitive, clear and with a refined, growing tension between
expression and the reserve of an inner grandeur.
DISK, Amsterdam, Ben van der Kleij
(Renaissance Clavichord II & Antonio Soler)
