European Day of Early Music
Andres Staier, recently (June 2024) awarded the Bach Medal of the city of Leipzig – a recognition that rewards his exceptional interpretations of Bach’s work and his commitment to preserving his legacy, (in the roll of honor of the prize, which has been awarded every year since 2003, we find Leonhardt, Gardiner, Koopman, Harnoncourt, Herrewege, Goebel, Schiff) – returns to Padua in a Franco-German program with works from the late 17th and early 18th centuries, and with Bach’s Partita no. 4 to conclude the program. Staier is one of the historic harpsichordists: he illuminates the musical structure of the pieces he explores and immerses himself deeply in these works, thus creating surprising listening experiences. Andreas Staier has been present in Padua, in our seasons, since January 1984 when he participated as a harpsichordist of the Musica Antiqua Köln group.
