Piano Recital – Andrea Turini plays Bach and Debussy

About the Event

Nestled in the heart of Amsterdam, De Duif, famous for its stunning acoustics and elegant architecture, opens its doors for a mesmerizing evening of classical music. Here, virtuoso Andrea Turini will grace the stage with a captivating performance in 'Piano Recital – Andrea Turini plays Bach and Debussy'.

Some pianists merely touch the keys others reach the soul.

Listening to Andrea Turini, the piano becomes more than an instrument—it becomes a breath, an extension of the soul, a voice both ancient and new, telling stories without words.
In De Duif's warm atmosphere, Turini invites us to a unique musical moment: Bach and Debussy, two worlds that seem distant, yet both brimming with poetry.
With Johann Sebastian Bach's Partitas, we enter a realm of order and grace, where each note gracefully dances with the next in perfect harmony.
Turini interprets these works not as abstract structures, but as vivid narratives – with breath, direction, and a keen sense of color. His touch is clear and transparent: each voice is allowed room to breathe, as if he is gently unraveling a centuries‐old fabric and enlivening it anew.
His Bach is intimate: no ostentation, no severity, just a warm attention to the human dimension. The dance forms never lose their rhythmic elegance, simultaneously acquiring a meditative quality – as if he’s not just playing the music, but making the silence between notes tangible.
Then, the dream shifts its hue, and we find ourselves in the mysterious light of Claude Debussy. Here, time decelerates, and the music whispers, rather than speaks. In these pieces—sometimes misty and soft, sometimes powerful and clear—Turini paints soundscapes from another realm.
You find yourself in distant places of fragrant warmth, in a dance hall filled with gentle melancholy, in a captivating dream slowly twirling, or on a quiet terrace where the evening air shimmers with yearning.

Every note bears a memory, a longing, a fragment of light.
This evening is an invitation to deeper listening, to allow yourself to be moved, and to find in the music a moment of pure emotion speaking directly to the heart.
