Performance: Sonics (MC): |
A very unusual tracklisting for a harpsichord disc!!!
It turns out to be breathtakingly good. Although seemingly none of the pieces were written with the harpsichord in mind, they sound just right. The tone of the French Von Nagel harpsichord is gorgeous - the deep notes sounding particularly magical.
A disc veritably bulging with highlights - the Shostakovich Fugue in A minor, the Khachaturian, the Mendelssohn (Wow!), the Schubert, the Cramer (Wow!), the Schumann - especially Mignon. Everything was selected by Olga - it's a wonderful collection.
I've played only the surround programme from the SACD layer. The sound quality is to die for.
Oi give it foive...
