Recorded in the inspirational surroundings of The Cobbe Collection of early keyboard instruments in England's Hatchlands Park, the celebrated early keyboardist Menno van Delft makes his Resonus solo debut with Johann Sebastian Bach's six keyboard Partitas - the first part of Bach's Clavier-Übung series of keyboard works. Using an original 1784 instrument by Christian Gotthelf Hoffmann (one of only two remaining clavichords from this maker), van Delft makes the case for performing these works on Bach's most favored keyboard instrument. Born in 1963 in Amsterdam, Menno van Delft studied harpsichord, organ, and musicology at the Sweelinck Conservatory in The Hague and the University of Utrecht. Amongst his professors were Anneke Uittenbosch and Gustav Leonhardt. In 1988 Menno van Delft won the clavichord prize at the C. Ph. E. Bach Competition in Hamburg and subsequently made his debut at the Holland Festival Early Music Utrecht. He teaches harpsichord, clavichord and basso continuo at the Conservatory of Amsterdam and the Hochschule fur Musik und Theater in Hamburg.
