... Bacchetti hat den Kosmos der Goldberg-Variationen offenbar gänzlich
durchdrungen. In nie nachlassender Spannung hält er den einmal vorgegebenen zügigen
Interpretationsansatz durch und gibt dennoch der Musik Raum, sich stimmungsvoll zu
entfalten. Schon die das Werk eröffnende Aria formuliert Bacchetti pragnant und präzise,
begreift die Verzierungen der Melodie als organischen Bestandteil des Ganzen, setz mehr
auf Gleichberechtigung der Stimmen, auf Bevorzugung von Einzelaspekten. ... Der
hochkonzentrierte Vortrag fordert indes nicht nur den Pianisten, der sich stets der
enormen Verantwortung bewusst scheint, die Goldberg-Variationen nach Legenden wie Glenn
Gould zu interpretierren, sondern auch die Konzentration der Zuhörer. Der riesige
Schluss-applaus freut Bacchetti schließlich so sehr, dass er dem 75-Minütigen Hauptwerk
noch rund 25 Minuten zweistimmige Inventionen von Bach folgen lässt und eine kleine
Pulcinella-Skizze von Villa-Lobos. ...

Andrea Bacchetti entfaltet den Kosmos der Goldberg-Variationen
Allgäuer Anzeigeblatt - 8. januar 2008 (Von Klaus Schmidt)
... There are two big kinds of musicians, those "lay" - who
have a professional relationship with music, unexceptionable as far as technique is
concerned, but without any transport - and those "mystic", so great in their
transport to make the audience share not a simple performance but a cult of moved
admiration of Beauty. Andrea Bacchetti belongs to the latter kind ... when he sits at
the piano no doubt remains: we are in front of a great musician, as far as phrasing
and technique are concerned, but also - and above all - as far as interpretation is.
The rapture that is felt by the pianist reaches the audience and penetrates in the
heart, emotion and pure musical delight ...

... What really matters, as far as faith to the work is concerned,
are musical intelligence and performer's taste, his ability to penetrate letter and
spirit of music to extract its absolute values that it contains. Andrea Bacchetti
owns all these qualities, together with an original performing bent, but without
oddnesses, and with a touch on piano of exemplary mix of colours and clear in its
articulations. ... Also nowadays the piano, with Berio's pages (of which Bacchetti
is a specialist), found in the young pianist a deep performer, rigorous and careful
to the care of sound atmosphere. ...

Bacchetti, the pianist launched by Karajan
La Repubblica, Milano - March 25th, 2008 (Luigi Di Fronzo)
... Andrea Bacchetti, pianist, becomes Berio's spokesman, while Berio
becomes Bacchetti's vehicle, for a new to be given back to the past. Above all to Bach.
An "Italian Bach" his own one, without any precedent, enlighted by the skies
of the pictorial Eighteen century, that was full of chaste romantic feeling, varnished
by the lucid objectivity of the present. It is not for chance if Goldberg variations -
just published in DVD and CD - have gained for him all the stars in the world. ...

expansion and thick rhythmical relationship, gloomy, tensions and concise sonorities.

... Bacchetti's reading, precise and defined with a deep care also in
polyphonic details, mixes the rigour of the counter pointed parts and Bach's lyrical
intensity, sweet and kind ... Bacchetti bore with a scrupulous vigour the most meditative
pages, and he faced with grit and brightness those of sparkling technical skinless. The
performance explains the reason why recently his performance of Bach has got wide
successes from the specialized critics. ...

Corriere della Sera, Roma - May 15th, 2008
... En el segundo concierto de Beehoven, Baccchetti entró después de
un largo preludiodel orquesta: lo hizo sin poses, sacando del Steinway el sonido más
acertado posible, sin excesiva percusión, sin caer en lo almibarado, manifestando
delicadeza, elegancia, usando los pedales con absoluta sobriedad, lo que le permitió
destilar un sonido puro, arpegios desgranados. El primer movimiento puso en evidencia
la influencia que Beethoven habia recibido de Mozart. Bacchetti respectó aquel toque
sofisticado, delicado, del maestro de Salzburgo. En el adagio asomó la llama romantica
con un lirismo intenso, aunque la parte del piano tenga una gran sobriedad. El rondó
final hizo renacer el virtuosismo, puso de relieve la impecable técnica del intérprete. ...

Divina pulsación
El Norte de Castilla, Valladolid - 20 de mayo 2008 (Emiliano Allende)
Un pianista singular, Bacchetti realizó una especie de viaje
iniciático musical con una serie de compositores italianos, Clementi, Cherubini,
Scarlatti, Rossini, hasta llegar a Berio, todos de un tirón, ensimismado con una
pulsación y un sonido magníficos y diverso impidiendo hasta el final el ablandamiento.
Después, en los regalos, mostró un rostro diferente: Villa-Lobos, Gershwin, Bach,
Debussy y Chopin sonaron gráciles y dinámicos con gran clase. Experiencia
interesantísima. ...

conocimiento; pero el genio se elevó el los encores: Villa Lobos, Gershwin (soberbio) Bach

these are the qualities of a worthy pianist. ...
Andrea Bacchetti enchantes Trisobbio
L'ANCORA, Acqui Terme - August 31st, 2008 (G. Sa)
... The basis of Bacchetti's reading of Bach are rigour and expressive
clearness ... Vigour, plastic sounds, variety in embellishments, Bacchetti seems to avoid
a priori the philological matter, and his reading was appreciated and convinced as far
as style is concerned ... After being was called back on stage by a discharging applause,
applause hold for a long time, Bacchetti set again at piano and played a whole sonata by
Mozart, revealing, compared with Bach, a smoother and pianistic sonority, then he
definitively said goodbye with a very famous standard jazz ... A noteworthy interpretation.

... Rigorous attention towards writing, meticulous structural studying,
research aimed to the beautiful sound, embellishments absolutely realistic, give to
Andrea Bacchetti's vision of Bach - which presents a coherence that can hardly be scored -
an elegance of a French baroque artist, even more interesting and personal because of
the fact that he is - perhaps - very far from usual stereotypes

Il Mattino, Neaples - November 26th, 2008 (Stefano Valenzuolo)
... Andrea Bacchetti today comes back to end the autumnal part of 2008
concert season... This concert has the feature of extraordinariness, both for the performer's
value, and for the specificity, of the program, presented by the pianist in a long tournée

Applauses for the recital of Genoese pianist at St. Elmo Castle
La Voce di Rovigo - November 30th, 2008 (Cristiano Moretto)
... Bacchetti, performer of sure personality and wide culture, chose his
own way and retraced in a personal and persuading way the whole catalogue, from Bach to
contemporaries ... A musical itinerary of great intelligence and deep coherence, an all-modern
vision of the classics of eighteen century, but also a Romanticism discovered again out
of sentimentalism and rhetoric ...

given new impulse and vigour to pianistic interpretations among much literature. Mature

language with authoritativeness and sensitiveness
Weiner classicism in a brilliant concert with the pianist Bacchetti
Il Messaggero Veneto, Udine - December 5th, 2008 (Sergio Zolli)
... La segunda intervención en nuestra ciudad de Andrea Bacchetti, fue
la confirmatión de que nos encontramos ante un pianista diferente. Su presencia fisica,
apenas percetible, deja paso a la trasmisión de la esencia de cada una de las obras que
interpreta. Su flexibilidad para la pulsación y su modo de frasear, son virtudes que le
convierten en un intérprete original. En su concierto de ayer, que comprendía las Suites
inglesias y francesas números 4 y 5, Bacchetti, se acercó a Bach con profundidad haciendo
gala de una asombrosa claridad en ambas manos. Asi, el contrapunto fue un tejido inmaculado
y a la vez cálido. Vigor en los preludios y sosiego en las "allemandes",
contrataron con los "passepied" y minuetos. Bacchetti mantuvo siempre el
equilibrio estructural de las obras sin por ello renunciar a crescendos espresivos que
alcanzaron el cenit en las gigas finales, en las que la escritura fugada lució en toda su
riqueza. ...

Viento en las velas - Valladolid: Música de cámara y solistas
scherzo, enero 2009 - (Fernando Herrero)
... Ambas características se unen en el genovés Andrea Bacchetti, pianista
que ofreció un monográfico Bach en el Ciclo Otoño en Clave, que Fundación Siglo situó en
la Sala de cámara del Auditorio de Valladolid ... El Bach de Bacchetti es muy personal,
con un pedal muy medido, un absoluto conocimiento del uso de la ornamentación, brillo en
el sonido siempre controlado, capacidad dinámica y estudio para diferenciar colecciones
y danxas: es decir, dominio del estilo sin despreciar para nada las posibilidades técnicas
del piano de hoy. Hubo momentos mágicos ... Magnífico.
Hemos escuchado a ... Música y Genio
