Born in 1964 the French harpsichordist, Pierre Hantaï, gave his first concerts at an early age, alone or with his brothers Marc and Jérôme. He then spent two years studying in Amsterdam with Gustav Leonhardt, who subsequently invited him to perform under his direction. In 1983 Hantaï scored his first major triumph through taking first prize at the International Bach-Handel Competition of Bruges in Belgium; since then, Hantaï has collected an impressive number of honours and awards. “…the selection provides variety and an opportunity to really hear the full range of the instrument. Some may find some of the pointing in the moderately paced pieces a little precious, but these are for the most part persuasive and winning performances.” BBC Music Magazine, January 2008 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | 24 Preludes
Catherine Perrin (harpsichord) Catherine Perrin plays 24 preludes... from Sweelinck to Jean Lesage, meeting along the way such composers as Scott Ross, Chopin, Daveluy, Louis and François Couperin, and, of course, Johann Sebastian Bach. By juxtaposing various eras and styles, she proposes a journey as astounding as the prelude form itself, a moment of privileged inspiration, fanciful and anarchical. “An excellent idea. Canadian harpsichordist Catherine Perrin makes five suites out of assorted preludes by composers old and new, with Bach forming the inevitable backbone to the programme. The result, if a little interruptus in effect, is a refreshingly broad array of harpsichord textures which can be listened to from beginning to end with no danger of boredom. Perrin’s neat and sonorous playing leaves you wanting to hear more…” Gramophone Magazine | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
