Joaquim José Antunes (1731-1811) was a Portuguese harpsichord maker who lived in Lisbon.
Julião Antunes was the father of Joaquin José; he was a maker of string instruments for the royal chapel.
These are a grand piano, very similar to their harpsichords in design and construction with an action like that of Bartolomeo Cristofori, made in 1767, now in the Shrine to Music Museum, Vermillion, South Dakota and a harpsichord similar to the others made in 1789 in the Museu da Música, Lisbon.
This single-manual instrument was the last harpsichord that the distinguished builder Robert Greenberg was able to complete and show before his untimely death at the age of 58 in 1995.
For more on the 1785 Antunes, which was bought by Richard Burnett at Sothebys in December 1985 for £33,000, see J. van der Meer, 'Um cravo Português desconhecido em propriedade particular em Inglaterra', Boletim da Associação Portuguesa de Educação Musical 58 (1988), pp.17-22.
This instrument was used by the Brazilian harpsichordist Pedro Persone for two performances at Florida International University in 2005, and for numerous concerts in the Miami Bach Society's Baroque Festivals in 2006 and 2007.
Many details of its construction, which became accessible during the restoration, show that J.J. Antunes was a representative of a highly developed art of harpsichord making in his country.
Recovering the sound of an "Antunes" opened the view of the music world to a completely original and very attractive character of sound, as it might have appealed to the imagination of the famous Domenico Scarlatti, who spent a large part of his life in Portugal and Spain.
NEUPERT intends with this replica not only to add a further original colour to the already well known palette of sound of the different historical harpsichord schools, but also wishes to offer musicians an interesting harpsichord with a sensible disposition and a very rich sound that is based on an authentic historical model.
