About

C.P.E. Bach and his keyboards für Kenner und Liebhaber allow us to enter into a forgotten world of sound where various keyboard instruments, especially those strings that are struck, mix and mingle, revealing new colours and accents. C.P.E. Bach's work explores this broad expressive palette that enables him to evoke successively, or sometimes abruptly, the affable and tender grace of the songs to the dry anguish of break-ups, joyful liveliness to sad melancholy.

With three keyboards – a clavichord, a Pantalon and a fortepiano – exceptional witnesses of this sensitive and resonant universe, Pierre Goy succeeds in unveiling to us the whole teeming, whimsical and innovative dimension of works imbued with deep humanity, born of the great art and true freedom with which C.P.E. Bach successfully combined improvisation and composition.

‘In the face of the unprecedented richness of timbre and varied sonorities of these very special instruments, and in the interests of preserving a sense of realism and unity, I decided to record all of them by means of two identically-placed omnidirectional microphones. Listening at a moderate volume will allow you to to savour all the facets of this music, in an interpretation which combines subtlety and vividness.’ – Jean-Claude Gaberel

During his formative years, Pierre Goy was taught by pianists from three major schools: Fausto Zadra and Edith Murano, both pupils of Vincenzo Scaramuzza (whose pianistic lineage dates back to Sigismund Thalberg), Esther Yellin, pupil of the pianist and teacher Heinrich Neuhaus of Moscow: and finally Vlado Perlemuter in Paris.

Fascinated by the expressive possibilities of old instruments, he attended courses for the fortepiano given by Luciano Sgrizzi, Paul Badura-Skoda and Jos van Immerseel, with Jesper Christensen for the romantic piano.

Pierre Goy seeks to perform the music of each era on an instrument that corresponds to it. He has recorded notably Liszt’s Years of Pilgrimage (First Year: Switzerland) (Cantando 9814); Chopin in Vienna (LYR 247); Mozart’s keyboards (LYR 2251); Chopin’s concertante works (Concerto in E minor, Krakowiak, Fantaisie), with the accompaniment played by a string quartet (members of Giardino Armonico, LYR 2266); Dussek in Valençay: sonatas op. 70 and 77 (forthcoming, Lyrinx).

With Nicole Hostettler, he performs four-hands works on two fortepianos, harpsichord and fortepiano, or on two clavichords. They have recorded the works of J. G. Müthel (Cantando 2016) on two clavichords, and works by Armand-Louis Couperin on two of Pascal Taskin’s expressive keyboard instruments (LYR 2262).

In chamber music ensembles he partners, amongst others, members of Il Giardino Armonico, the Mosaïques Quartet, l’Ensemble Baroque de Limoges, the mezzo-soprano Marie-Claude Chappuis and the violinist Liana Mosca, with whom he has recorded sonatas op. 5 and 7 by Ignace Ladurner (forthcoming, Lyrinx). He also plays with members of the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande.

He teaches in the Hautes Ecoles de Musique of Geneva HEM and Lausanne HEMU and frequently shares his knowledge of old instruments and performance practice during master classes and seminars.

Pierre Goy is the founder of the Rencontres Internationales harmoniques de Lausanne, which since 2002 has seen instrumentalists, musicians, musicologists and museum curators gathering to exchange knowledge of old instruments.
