Richard Egarr (harpsichord) In his latest solo recital for harmonia mundi, Richard Egarr turns to the rarely heard harpsichord Suites by Henry Purcell. In his beautifully shaped reading, these eight muscular and quirky works, published the year after Purcell's death, are interspersed with seven shorter pieces built on a recurring pattern - a chaconne, a rondeau, and five 'grounds'. Richard Egarr has worked with all types of keyboards and is in great demand both as soloist and as accompanist. His collaboration with long-time duo partner Andrew Manze has been setting new performance standards since 1984. He is music director of the Academy of Ancient Music, and they recently recorded Handel's Organ Concertos Op.4 together, nominated for a Gramophone Award 2008. Handel Concerti Grossi Op. 3 won the Baroque Award in 2007. “A thoroughly persuasive case for these neglected masterpieces.” Gramophone Magazine, October 2008 “…Egarr is… brilliant in the G major Suite, introspective in its broody, lowering G minor sibling, and not beyond an utterly charming registrational surprise for the last track.” BBC Music Magazine, October 2008 ***** |

Benjamin Perrot (theorbe & direction) La Rêveuse The civil war that culminated in the decapitation of King CharlesI was a
dark period of English history; yet, in musical terms, the Puritans led by Oliver Cromwell did not do as
much damage as one might have imagined. By prohibiting public music-making in places of workship and
theatres, they contributed to the development of the practice of chamber music between friends in the
home. |

Mario Hospach-Martini (Andreas-Silbermann organ, Ebersmunster Abbey Church) The organ of the Ebersmunster Abbey Church, built in 1730 by Andreas Silbermann, is a
masterpiece of the Paris-trained Saxon organ builder and one of the most beautiful organs in the
world. It is one of only two almost completely preserved instruments by Silbermann. This recording
is dedicated to compositions which have a special relationship to the sound ideals of the French
baroque organ-building school. | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |
