"I have always liked Rameau's works and since I love harpsichord music also, I just had to have this recording!



The melodic playing of Gilbert Rowland makes Rameau's music just dance from my stereo speakers. I am a fan of Igor Kipnis and Ton Koopman but must admit I have to add Rowland to that list!



The represented harpsichord music of Rameau on this recording, for me, congers images of a baroque era courtly gathering with ladies and gents doing a dainty dance while the music of these masterpieces wafts through the air.



I am so captivated by the complex chords and the ease with which they are played that I put the CD on "repeat" to listen to it all day!"

"From the first notes of this CD, I was impressed by the excellent recording and powerful playing. btw, the price is terrific too. Beautiful music circa 1700, impressive playing and recording -- I'm definitely going to order volume II!"

Passionate Musique pour Clavecin !

"One of the most importent qualities for a baroque music performer especially keyboardist is to be capable of grasp the psychological languages of the music.in modern times we see diversified approaches: some romanticize it, when those in tradition of G Leonhardt adhere strickly to its ideology and flourish it with colour and sensitivity which render it profound in aesthetic and psychological values.it is why the latters recordings always survive my shelf-washing of music collection and I can never get tired of them.I was also suprised to find a completely less wellknown clavecinist that excels in this quality and rivals the famous pupils of Leonhardt I see why the reviewer below set this disc on "Repeat".it is really a wonderful generous gift from NAXOS !"
