Jean-Philippe Rameau 1683-1764, Pieces de Clavecin en Concert (1741) - Elaine Comparone & The Queen's Chamber Band

"...This disc is a rare winner. You will not hear Rameau played better. This disc is a touchstone . It has set such an incredibly high standard that I cannot see how it will ever be equaled let alone excelled. It is also the definitive example of how early music should be played." David Wright, Music Web International (to read full review, see url at bottom of this page)

The Lyrichord Early Music Series proudly presents Jean-Phillippe Rameau's delightfully complex and demanding Piéces de Clavecin en Concerts of 1741, masterfully interpreted by the dynamic American harpsichordist Elaine Comparone with members of the Queen's Chamber Band. A brand new recording produced by veteran baroque specialist John Ostendorf and recorded in the impeccable acoustic of New York City's Town Hall, Pieces de Clavecin en Concert represents a pinnacle exposition of this dazzling composer at his absolute best!
