Description:

Winner of the International Bach Competition! Francesco Corti! In 2006, he won the first prize in the harpsichord section of the 15th International Johann Sebastian Bach Competition, and in 2007, he won the second prize in the harpsichord section of the Bruges International Competition for Old Music, In 2007, he won the second prize in the harpsichord section of the Bruges International Competition for Ancient Music. The International Johann Sebastian Bach Competition, named after the great Bach and first held in 1950, is a gateway to success for young musicians, and the top prize winners in each category are given the opportunity to give concerts in various cities and record a CD on the GENUIN label. Corti's CD solo debut in 2006 was a collection of works by Louis Couperin. Louis Couperin was only 35 years old when he passed away, and his works were never published during his lifetime. The works have been performed as a suite of these pieces.In this album, he demonstrates the sense of performance with improvisational embellishments that can be heard in his later Bach performances, and he plays the works of Louis Couperin, which require a high level of technique and taste, with great skill. One of the key points is the use of the famous Lukkers instrument from the Swiss museum collection. Tokyo M-Plus
