Harpsichord
NATHANIEL MANDER
Nathaniel Mander is an early keyboard specialist known for his expressive, elegant and virtuosic style. His most recent recording, a performance of Bach’s Goldberg Variations received brilliant reviews across the board, and he was awarded the highest accolade: a 10 star review by Dutch specialist classical music magazine Luister.
Nathaniel has devoted himself to the instruments and style of the 18th century after hearing the harpsichord on the radio in his youth. He was entranced by the sound and inspired by the bold and brilliant style of the Baroque and Rococo periods.
He started having lessons with Richard Lester in Cirencester where he gave his first solo recitals in his teens, before moving to London to train at the Royal Academy of Music with Carole Cerasi.
He is now recognised as one of the leading keyboard artists of his generation and has performed across the world as both harpsichordist and fortepianist. Alongside his poetic and passionate performances, he always enjoys introducing the music that he plays in his own personal, light style.
Nathaniel has released on his website a series of teaching videos that he originally created for the Japanese Early Music organisation Académie de Cour. He has just performed to great acclaim a sold-out UK tour of Bach’s Goldberg Variations.
