General Harpsichord and Clavichord Thread

Alpha Classics proudly presents "Baroque Stories", a new series of recordings devoted to young talents in early music; its first recording introduces Louise Acabo . . .

Booklet for this interesting release, which is less about  Chambonnières and more about Chambonnières'  impact in England mostly.

Interesting because, apart from familiar music by Louis Couperin and Froberger, there is unfamiliar music. Boesset, Racquet  . . .

Lovely instrument very well recorded, and nice music nicely played. Introspective vibe, like soliloquies. The Froberger is unusually lyrical and undramatic - he reminds me of Ludger Rémy (for me, that's all to the good.)

This is mostly tavern music, not church music. Weird harpsichord, she writes about her choice in the booklet. It's rich in overtones.
