The beating heart of the French Baroque harpsichord repertoire.

We Say...
This is something of an oddity, but has been a colossal best-seller in France. Sure, we’ve had Bach and Handel played on the piano, but not that often do pianists strike so convincingly at the beating heart of the French Baroque harpsichord repertoire. Alexandre Tharaud acknowledges that this music was conceived for the percussive harpsichord but he also uses his modern Steinway with all the colour and mastery you’d expect of a pianist who has recorded Ravel’s complete piano music. And Rameau’s suites are so full of invitations to let the imagination run loose that they are a gift to such an accomplished pianist. Tharaud makes this music dance — so that by the time you reach the end, you’ve almost completely forgotten that you’re hearing it on the "wrong" keyboard instrument.
