Bruno Procopio (harpsichord), Patrick Bismuth (violin), Francois Lazarevitch (recorders), Emmanuelle Guigues (viola da gamba) The Pièces de clavecin en concerts are a kind of link between the Italian trio sonatas and Bach’s polyphonic trios. An example of the latter would be the trio sonata which concludes the Musical Offering. Another example would be the keyboard sonatas – for harpsichord or pianoforte – with violin or ad libitum accompaniment which were developed considerably at the end of the XVIII century, especially in France. After many rewarding performances over the past 15 years, Bruno Procopio decided to record these master-works by Rameau. This disc, featuring the Pièces de clavecin en concerts and the Suite in A, is the result of a long collaboration between the young French Baroque soloists. |

| |  | Rameau: Pièces de Clavecin en concerts
Noëlle Spieth (harpsichord) Rameau’s book of pieces de clavecin en concerts, published in 1741, was a brilliant achievement. The composer followed the taste of his time in intending them for various instrumental combinations but he also maintained that “these pieces lose nothing by being played on the harpsichord alone". Noëlle Spieth plays a French double manual harpsichord after Goujon 1749, by Emile Jobin in 1983, tuned to A409. Her version of Rameau’s complete harpsichord music was chosen by France-Musique, Diapason and BBC Music Magazine as the best interpretation to date. “With the other instruments absent...a player's own subtleties of articulation and agogics come through more. These Spieth has in plenty...Unique and expertly realised, this is definitely one to acquire for Rameau harpsichord fans.” Gramophone Magazine, April 2010 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Rameau: Complete Keyboard Music Volume 1
Rameau was one of the great composers for the keyboard. But because pianists have not adopted his harpsichord music as they have that of the other great names of the Baroque – Bach, Handel and Scarlatti – his stature as a keyboard composer is not fully acknowledged. This series of three CDs presents all his keyboard music on the piano: the familiar suites, a number of discoveries and arrangements by his contemporaries. “Gutman's playing is sensitive, lightly articulated and cautious in its expressive range. At times he errs on the side of understatement. It is, though, engaging for its ornamental delicacy and communicative lyricism.” BBC Music Magazine, December 2007 **** “Rameau on the piano is gaining fast. …while the texture can still get congested on occasion, the overall feel is one of languid grace and charm. Gutman… achieves satisfying clarity and attack in many of the faster dance movements and reacts well to Rameau's strong harmonic sense, forcefully direct in places, deliciously clouded in others.” Gramophone Magazine, November 2007 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

And yet he has the power to transfix an
audience, as he did throughout his Wigmore Hall recital, without the need for gratuitous showmanship or wild musical gestures. Austerity and sobriety are the names of his particular performing game, tempered by
a compelling mix of passion and commitment to the broad repertoire within his command.” Andrew Stewart, The Independent, 10th January 1996 “Among the scholar-performers who have sparked and led the early music revival, surely none has played a greater part and exerted a more benificent influence on younger musicians and the public than Gustav
Leonhardt. Harpsichordist, organist, conductor, teacher, musicologist and editor are all roles in which he has distinguished himself.” Howard Schott, The Musical Times, October 1992 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
