 cd Nov 23, 2009
It is a great compilation of many wonderful songs. I can not say I am a big fan of the performer's style however, as he tends to play an excessive number trils and notes where they are not necessary.
 marvelous compilation - great for beginning hpsch aficionados May 13, 2008
This is a fabulous collection of harpsichord pieces. They include English, French, German, and Italian pieces. Great variety. Scholarly interpretations are correct, and interpretation/speed/ornamentation are perfect. This is one you must have for your collection, especially if you are just starting to collect harpsichord music. The artists are not named in the Amazon info here, but they are Igor Kipnis (my favorite), Anthony Newman, and Arnold Dolmetsch (one of the pioneer early music musicologists). And, my gosh! Look at the price!!!! mb

Good introduction: Oct 30, 2007
As with several other of Kipnis' albums, these could serve as either an eye opener for those uninitiated to the potential of the late 20th century harpsichord in the hands of these virtuoso musicians. And an introduction of the incredibly rich, varied (and almost totally neglected) music of the 18th Century. Igor Kipnis was so much more than a master of the keyboard, he helped introduce three generations to what the Baroque was all about.

"Best Harpsichord Recording" Nov 05, 2005
I have always loved the sound of the Harpsichord and for many years hearing poorly recorded or played Harpsichord this treasure is a must have. From the fine compositions to the good sound quality this CD is definately a keeper.
Plenty of music for a moderate price as well.
