These harpsichord works rank amongst the best of all the harpsichord compositions by Ramaeu. They were appeared in print very soon after their composition in the August of 1741. They were composed when the mature Rameau was at the height of his fame. This release, first issued in 1994, bought together the musical skills of four of the greatest exponents of the performance of early music.
“Robert Kohnen and three Kuijken brothers capture the picturesque sound-world of Rameau's 1741 Pièces, responding sensitively to his seductive melodies, scrunchy harmonies and rhythms.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2008 ****
