The delicate and particular sound of the clavichord will reverberate at the Oratory of St Francis Church in Valletta during a recital dedicated to baroque music by Bach, Purcell, Rameau, Scarlatti, Clausells, De Narvaez and Mudarra.
The clavichord is a highly melodic instrument with a small and delicate sound
Ramona Zammit Formosa will be performing on the clavichords, while George Debono, a restorer and builder of clavichords, will give a presentation on this instrument, which knows its origins in medieval times.
The clavichord is a highly melodic instrument with a small and delicate sound, which compels both player and listener to shut out the harsh outside world and really listen.
The appeal of listening to the clavichord is the experience of being transported back in time and experiencing the very soul and ethos of an otherwise lost era.
For those who yearn for something simple and peaceful, listening to this beguiling instrument for the first time will be a memorable experience.
After the recital, all are welcome to have a close look at the clavichords, try them out and discover their particular charm.
The recital will take place on Tuesday at 12.30pm.
