Rameau introduces an imitation of nature in 'Le rappel des oiseaux' (roughly translated as 'The conference of the birds'). This piece was most likely inspired by Rameau's friendship with the Jesuit Père Castel, who discussed with the composer the phenomenon and study of birdsong.

In liner notes that give every sense that she has been playing and considering these works for half a lifetime, @angejsb.bsky.social reminds us that the first harpsichordist to play all 555 or so sonatas declared that Kk208 was the one he'd choose if only allowed one Scarlatti sonata.

This record is the culmination of a personal and artistic journey for Minsoo, reaching back decades to his studies with Russell Sherman. The result is an interpretation of rare depth and joy, recorded in the magical setting of Schloss Elmau in the Bavarian Alps.

Inspired by the artistic world of Versailles during the reign of Louis XIV, Mishka Rushdie Momen's new album brings together works by Couperin, Rameau and Jacquet de La Guerre, a pioneering composer whose music remains far less widely known than that of her male contemporaries.

Élisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre's harpsichord pieces are adventurous and florid, combining dramatic Italianate touches with French rhetorical gestures. The Suite in G minor begins with an unmeasured prelude, recalling those by Louis Couperin.

Minsoo writes: 'We often say that a great work of art contains a journey through life, but this is more than life. This is the journey of a universe: a cosmic world that Bach created and that is left to us. I think it’s a gift for humanity.'

The listener to 'For St Cecilia' may feel that the music is seldom far from another abrupt escalation towards boiling point. In the event, however, the music becomes introspectively reverential.

The F minor prelude BWV857 makes the most of scrunchy harmonies with its four voices—which the ensuing fugue extends in the most chromatic subject in the cycle so far.

It is odd to imagine a world without Vivaldi's 'Gloria', but it was only in 1926 that monks discovered crates of Vivaldi manuscripts containing some 300 works, over 50 of them church music. To this day, most of us can claim to know just a few, but now there is no further excuse.
