Product Description
Am. Rec. Guide
This is kirkpatrick at his very best.
Recorded on a 35mm film reel, the sound quality is simply breathtaking: it simply has no defects at all. You can actually hear every minute sound made by the harpsichord to the point that you would think Kirkpatrick is playing live right next to you. Although I can't say that Kirkpatrick is better than other greats for harpsichord/piano such as Rosen, Gould, or Pinnock, he is certainly equal to them without question. Get this CD while you can as you will not regret it at all. There is no recording out there (and very few modern ones) that even compare to the sound quality here.
Many CDs recorded between 1950 and 1970 are equal in quality to this performance as they were also recorded with 35mm reel: all such recordings are priceless additions to your collection worth buying without hesitation. If you truly know/love classical music and the harpsichord, it is simply impossible for you to be dissatisfied with this album.
