Lea Suter Harpsichordist & Organist
In addition to her international concert activities as a soloist, harpsichordist and organist Lea Suter also works as a tutor at the International Organ and Clavichord Academy in Smarano (Italy). For the 22/23 season, she received the #MusikerZukunft scholarship from the German Orchestra Foundation for her work with the clavichord. As a soloist on the 16-foot harpsichord, she regularly performs with baroque orchestras. Her artistic focus is on reviving the sound of past eras through the use of historical keyboard instruments and the incorporation of scientific findings. In addition, she has been publishing the podcast “Glocke Orgel digital” since March 2020, making the historic Sauer organ of the Bremen Concert Hall accessible to the public. This was followed by a first CD recording on this 1928 organ for the Dabringhaus & Grimm label. The organist and harpsichordist also performs with her own Weckmann Consort and in other ensembles.
Instruments
Harpsichord
The ensemble sparked a love for the harpsichord as a continuo and solo instrument and a great search for timbres – Lea Suter plays a 16' harpsichord by Matthias Kramer.
Clavichord
Born in Switzerland, she built her first clavichord at the age of 16 — it remains her companion to this day for playing historical keyboard instruments.

"And thirdly, much to my surprise and delight, because of the combined sound of the silvery tone of the trombone and the full-bodied timbre of the organ. You have to hear it for yourself to appreciate its warm and exquisite sonority. It is distinctly different from comparable recordings, and I believe that not only the quality of Martinez's trombones plays a decisive role, but also the eloquence with which he treats his instruments. After careful consideration, I now prefer this combination to the more popular combination of organ and trumpet. In summary, this release fills an important gap in the repertoire. The outstanding mastery of the musicians, coupled with MDG's sophisticated sound engineering, will undoubtedly delight even the most discerning audience, whether trombone and organ players or simply curious listeners. “ (HRAudio.net) ”The two skilled performers, who listen well to each other, enliven their playing with brisk tempos and period-appropriate ornamentation, bringing not only technical skill but also temperament to the table. ... In addition to their technical dexterity and stylistic confidence, they also demonstrate a sparkling joy in playing." (Klassik heute)
