Andrea BUCCARELLA
Clavecin, orgue et direction
Harpsichordist, organist and conductor, Andrea Buccarella is one of the most appreciated musicians and specialists for early music of his generation. He was born in Rome in 1987 and undertakes his first musical studies as Puer Cantor in the prestigious Sistine Chapel Choir. After obtaining the diploma in organ and organ composition at the Santa Cecilia Conservatory in Rome, he graduates cum laude in harpsichord and historical keyboards under Enrico Baiano. He concludes his musical studies at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, where he achieves with full marks and distinction two Masters in harpsichord and historical keyboards, under the guidance of Andrea Marcon.
In August 2018 he has been awarded the First Prize at the International harpsichord Competition Musica Antiqua Bruges, where he also won the Outhere Award. An intense concert activity brought him to perform in important festivals and concert halls in Europe, the United States, Korea and Japan, both as a soloist on the harpsichord, organ and fortepiano, and as a conductor. In 2012 Andrea became the artistic director and conductor of Abchordis Ensemble. Under his guidance the Abchordis Ensemble won the First Prize at the International Händel Competition 2015 in Göttingen.
His debut album TOCCATA (Ricercar/Outhere Music), released in 2019, has received high international critical acclaim and has been awarded with 5 stars on BBC Music Magazine and with the prestigious Diapason d’Or Découverte on Diapason Magazine. Other solo recordings include J.S. Bach’s Concerts for two harpsichords and strings BWV 1060-1062, with Francesco Corti and il Pomo d’Oro, J.S. Bach’s concert for 4 harpsichords and strings, with Rinaldo Alessandrini and Concerto Italiano, and the album FANTASIA (From Andrea Gabrieli to Johann Sebastian Bach), second chapter dedicated to musical forms for keyboards.
Andrea has been invited to conduct several vocal and instrumental ensembles, including the Venice Baroque Orchestra, La Cetra Barockorchester Basel, il Pomo d’Oro, Solistenensemble Kaleidoskop, Kore Orchestra and others. In February 2020 he made his debut as conductor at the Musikverein Wien with the Venice Baroque Orchestra and Julia Lezhneva.
