Harpsichord Suites Complete

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Thurston Dart once wrote that a player of Handel's time who had played a repeat verbatim would have been considered "a dull dog indeed." Most of the time, literal repeats in Baroque music represent a failure of the imagination. That factor alone would be enough for an enthusiastic recommendation of Paul Nicholson's performances. He takes all of Handel's marked repeats and adds enough of his own embellishment to give us a different perspective on the music. Fortunately, there is plenty more to enjoy here. While Nicholson doesn't give us the driving rhythmic thrust of some harpsichordists, his playing is lively enough, and he makes Handel's slow movements expressive without altering rhythms enough to sound distorted. In short, this set is a triumph of good taste, a success on every level. Even the recorded sound (from 1994) is superb. And at Hyperion's Dyad series twofer price, the set costs little more than Alan Cuckston's relatively earthbound and literal set for Naxos. Even if you have another recording of Handel's harpsichord suites, it's worthwhile giving this one a try. --Leslie Gerber

5 out of 5 stars Rameau: Harpsichord Music (Complete), Vol. 2.......2007-05-25

1. Gilbert Rowland's playing was first-rate on Vol. 2 (as good as Vol. 1)
2. This is the best harpsichord music recording I've heard in quite awhile. (This quality level equals that of Vol. 1)
3. The price ($6/US) was a bonus! (same as Vol. 1)

I rate this five stars!

5 out of 5 stars Joyful and exuberant; Delicate and sensitive delivery.......2002-12-17

This album takes the full range of the harpsichord instrument with all its embellishments. Highly complex composition with the left carrying the bass. The right carrying the melody. Alternating harmonies. All registers explored. It is hardly apparent that the harpsichord has limited dynamic range. This is due to the skill of the composer (Jean-Philippe Rameau) and the skill of the performer (Gilbert Rowland). This particular album contains the breadth and depth of Rameau's mastery of the solo instrument of the mid-1700s (Suite in A minor, Suite in G major, Pieces de Clavecin en Concerts, La Daphine), all written for the harpsichord. Add this album to your valuable collection of 18th century music.

Unlike those of his contemporaries, the performances of Benno Moiseiwitsch (1890-1963) rarely, if ever, sound dated. Pearl's two-disc release of the pianist's complete acoustic recordings, made between 1916 and 1925, shows that he shared with the greatest pianists of his era a singing tone, plasticity of line, colorful palette, and, yes, even an occasional tendency to make "improvements" in the composer's text. But Moiseiwitsch's rich sense of fantasy, his discovery of inner lines, and his subtle phrasing always yield insights into the music he played. In Chopin's F-sharp Impromptu, his mastery of glints and shading makes other pianists sound stiff. The rippling scale passages and elaborate ornamentation of the same composer's "Berceuse" have never been more elegant or hypnotic. And his performances of Ravel's "Jeux d'eau" and Debussy's "Jardins dans la pluie," with their rapid tempos and incisive accentuations, are far removed from the ethereal, perfumed approach as common in our age as in his. These 80-year-old recordings demonstrate that Moiseiwitsch's performances sound as fresh and beautiful as ever. --Stephen Wigler

5 out of 5 stars Relaxation to Moiseiwitsch.......2001-08-01

Have you had a long stressful day and you just need to sit back and relax? Then you should try this album. All the music is soothing and relaxing, full of the sounds of great classical music. Moisewitsch has a great talent--a true master of his time. His work will live on for generations. I especially recommend tracks #5 and #10 on the first disk. Listen to all the elements that make classical music so great.

        Customer Reviews:

        5 out of 5 stars Wonderful set.......2004-10-24

        This set is for serious piano fans, not for the ones who just start building up a CD library. I sort of agree with one of the reviewers, that there are many repetitions. But if you love piano, you wish to hear the same piece in different interpretations. Indeed, I really like this feature of this set: I can compare the style of various performers.
        If you are into piano music, I encourage you to grab this set, if you can find it used (not available anymore at Amazon). I also hope, that there will be a continuation, in which other great pianists, who were left out because of the space limitation, will be included (Prokofiev, Bartok, Dohnanyi, etc).

        2 out of 5 stars Don't buy the whole thing.......2001-07-08

        I've put a lot of thought into constructing my own piano library, and unless you can easily afford the present set, I would recommend a different approach to collecting piano music. This set emphasizes the piano player rather than the piano composer. Of course both are important. For example, the "Barcarolle" appears in this set EIGHT times. I'm sorry, although I love the piece, if I am going to spend [the money], I would prefer more variety. Where are the Alkan, Medtner, and Szymanawski compositions represented in this set? I appreciate having so many interpretations of the same pieces, but I would also appreciate more exposure to pieces not so popular. The selection by Philips which I consider a somewhat popular selection suggests to me that when Philips constructed this set, they realized most people would be buying the disks separately, and this affected the selection. And it's not just that obscure composers are left out, but also if one spends so much money on piano recordings, you'd think you'd want to buy pieces from a composer in completeness. For example, an alternative way to construct a library would be to combine purchases of complete cycles, e.g. complete Beethoven sonatas, complete Scriabin preludes, etc., along with outstanding recordings of more particular pieces. I'm not sure why someone would want to concentrate so much on so many famous artists, instead of acquiring complete sets of compositions. For me the composer is more important, or at least, if I am going to spend [the money]on piano recordings, I'd prefer more complete, rather than snapshot, exposure to the composers.

        5 out of 5 stars Not Insane.......2001-01-02

        I had to write this review, as I am enthralled with this set. I have been going through it in order having already purchased a few individual units from the collection earlier. I am not sure what `insane' was talking about as there is NO repetition. Sure some pianists perform the same pieces, isn't that what they did in reality? The idea is to appreciate the different nuances and approaches taken by these artists. You will then enjoy these pieces from a better vantage.

        It is a large ambitious contribution to the art of great piano playing. It is a labor of love and represents a tremendous amount of research and cooperation between many record companies. Rather then representing insanity, it is a resource to treasure.

        Yes experts can quibble over who was left out, and what performances were inserted. I do not think such a massive undertaking could have been accomplished without someone being able to find faults. Overall however, unless you already have a monumental collection, (it would have to be almost legendary), this incredible set will give you a rewarding look into 74 of the greatest pianist of all time. You will come away with a honed sense of appreciation for your likes and dislikes. You will undoubtedly become someone who will search out recordings and be able to enjoy them for the rest of your life with a refined ear.

        The only negative is this price. I would shop around, as it is daunting to spend 2 thousand dollars on such a collection. Of course you do get 200 CD's. However, the used collections might be good to consider.

        Enjoy these masterpieces. I am not ashamed of owning this music as `insane' implies. I am proud to have enriched my life.

        This is not a good library of piano music. The reason is, there is too much repetition. I'm not saying the series is bad. The series is wonderful. But this collection as a whole is a bad libary. For the same money you could collect together (with more effort) an incredible libary of piano music. There are so many wonderful cd's out there, this is just a waste of money. If you can actually afford to spend 2 grand on piano music, then either (1) spend the time and do some research to get a good library of piano music, which will probably include some selections from this collection, or (2) hire someone to do that for you. Personally I would be embarrassed to own this whole collection, since that shows I have put little thought into my purchases of piano music.

        This series attempts to present important and representative performances by most of the major pianists of the 20th century. One might quibble a bit with the choices, but the works presented are of consistently high quality, and often do represent what may be the best works of a performer. Since this covers most of the time that recorded music existed, some of the recordings are technically challenged, as there is only so much one can do to enhance an old recording. Still, these appear to have been treated with love and respect in their restorations. Since this series is so large (and expensive!) one is tempted to "cherry pick" through the series, yet by doing so one can easily overlook gems by artists one is less familiar with. This large a set must inevitably have many versions of the same pieces, and takes many hours to listen to. The true enthusiast will appreciate the differences in interpretation, whereas the less experienced listener may find the set repetitive and overwhelming. If one has the time to really dig into this set, it can provide years of exploration and discovery. It would make a wonderful gift for some special music lover in your life ... or for yourself!

        The music is not well known, intimate, a bit mysterious in a literal sense, in that it has come down to us with very limited playing indications either of timing in the pieces, or as to which should be played in which order. Nevertheless, after some listening it will be found deeply felt and moving. The harpsicord is magnificent in this recording, a large scale instrument, well recorded, and the playing sensitive and affecting. I find it less accessible than the better known harpsicord music of Francois Couperin, but more rewarding once you have made the effort.

        At least on this CD sampler of Baumont's complete Couperin works for harpsichord, his playing can be characterized at various junctures as plucky, cute, metronomic, un-philosophical, un-poetic, and un-magical. Even on the one piece where he employs a generous rubato, it's an insufficient gift of expressiveness to the listener.

        If you've heard and relished versions of some or all of these pieces played by the likes of Gustave Leonhardt, Kenneth Gilbert or Edward Parmentier, you'll realize the genius that is hidden away from us by performers with a limited emotional palette such as seems to be possessed by Mr. Baumont. Subtle rhythmic alterations (the prime means of expression on the harpsichord as per writings from the period), when at all rendered by Mr. Baumont are relatively colorless.

        Even his occasional bravado is a bit hollow. He doesn't reach into the lush fountainhead of 18th century musical grandeur - we are left with what's merely prosaic. There's no play between various layers of psychological depth in his interpretation of "Les Folies Francois". Even though he may glimpse something more profound, he does not bring an adequate range of feeling to bear.

        Baumont's grasp of impressionistic themes (possibly more bountiful in Couperin than in any other composer up until his time) seems to have no real dimension to it. This does a disservice to Mr. Couperin, and to Mr. Baumont'a listeners.
