In 2025 the 250th anniversary of the death of Don Diego Fernandez Caparròs (1703–1775) is commemorated, a keyboard instrument maker active at the Madrid court during the time of Domenico Scarlatti, Maria Barbara of Braganza and Farinelli. Recent research and new discoveries have shed light on his role in the history of keyboard instrument building, revealing an innovative and experimental figure. The present project is based on these studies and proposes the reconstruction of an instrument inspired by those attributed to Fernandez, with the aim of recovering the sound world that may have accompanied Scarlatti’s sonatas and expanding the expressive possibilities of historically informed performance Read the full text about this project by clicking on the PDF.
