Aapo Hakkinen


Aapo Häkkinen began his musical education as a chorister at Helsinki Cathedral. He took up the harpsichord at the age of thirteen, studying with Elina Mustonen at the Sibelius Academy. He studied with Bob van Asperen at the Amsterdam Sweelinck Conservatory, and with Pierre Hantaï in Paris. He was also fortunate to enjoy the generous guidance and encouragement of Gustav Leonhardt. In 1998 he won second prize at the Bruges Harpsichord Competition. He was also awarded the NDR special prize for his interpretations of Italian music. Since then, he has appeared as soloist and conductor in most European countries, in the United States, and in Mexico, in collaboration with distinguished colleagues, including Reinhard Goebel, Monica Groop, Erich Höbarth, María Cristina Kiehr, and Riccardo Minasi. He has recorded for the Aeolus, Alba, Avie, Cantus, Deux-Elles and Naxos labels. Besides the harpsichord, he regularly performs on the organ and on the clavichord. He teaches at the Sibelius Academy and at international masterclasses, and is Artistic Director of the Helsinki Baroque Orchestra. Aapo Häkkinen plays a harpsichord by Frank Rutkowski and Robert Robinette, New York, 1970, after Johann Adolph Hass (1760).
