Reviving the Revival Harpsichord
About
Reviving the Revival Harpsichord: Bringing the “Puyana Pleyel” back to Performance.Moritz Ernst is an internationally regarded keyboard virtuoso: a “Steinway Artist”, musicologist, and champion of 20thC composers. We have interrupted his 2026 Asian tour to include a singular performance in Australia, at Healesville.
At this concert, Moritz will be performing on a 1960 “Grande Modele de Concert” Harpsichord, which was commissioned from Pleyel by the Columbian keyboardist Rafael Puyana. Puyana recorded numerous LP disks playing on this instrument, and it had a very active life in his hands, frequently used on tour.
Moritz will be performing several pieces he’s selected from Puyana’s 1960s harpsichord repertoire, including works by Händel, Rameau, and Soler. He will also perform two world premieres especially commissioned and written for this rebirth of Puyana’s Pleyel, celebrating its restoration to performance condition, by composers Detlef Heusinger and Miklós Maros. Please join us for this unique celebratory musical event.
