the album cover for Harpsichord Avantgarde / Various - Harpsichord Avantgarde

Until well into the second half of the eighteenth century it was the harpsichord which served at the very forefront as a sounding body for experimental and avant-garde. At the latest with the generation around Beethoven, the "modern" fortepiano had become the key instrument for this task. With the renaissance of the harpsichord toward the end of the 19th century, the interest of living composers in this instrument gradually awoke. A first peak was reached in the 1920s, when Manuel de Falla and Francis Poulenc created the first significant works with their respective concert pieces. Fortunately, music continues to be diligently composed for this "old" instrument. The performance of a recital on this release in 2004 is intended to document the liveliness and timeliness of new harpsichord music, even if the most recent piece from 1999 was written at that time.

Tracklist:

  1. Prelude (Live)
  2. Royal Winter Music, Sonata No. 1: II. Romeo And Juliet (Live)
  3. 5 Pieces (Excerpts): Nos. 1-3 (Live)
  4. Eloge No. 2 (Live)

  6. Imaginary Dances Nos. 1-5 (Live)
