“Doux
Rossignols” 18th century French baroque music
Titanic Records is pleased to announce the release of “ ‘Doux Rossignols’
18th century French Baroque Music.”. This CD offers a selection
from French baroque repertory from the first half of the 18th century.
Well-known compositions of Couperin and Leclair alternate with unknown
works by Philidor and Dollé. What surprises is the variety in strength:
solo sonatas for both voice-flute and gamba, trio sonatas, a harpsichord
solo and a duet for two voice-flutes. It is remarkable that the
harpsichordist of this ensemble, Pieter-Jan Belder, is a recorder-player
as well. He is a much sought-after harpsichordist and forte pianist
and has recorded a large number of CDs, including the complete works
of Corelli and the Tafelmusik by Telemann with his own Ensemble
Amphion. In addition, he is recording the complete harpsichord sonatas
of Domenico Scarlatti. As a soloist he can be heard in the Dixhuitième
Ordre for harpsichord solo by François Couperin. The gamba player
Johannes Boer performs an unknown solo sonata by Jean-Marie Leclair.
This baroque ensemble plays ardently and stylishly on very fine
instruments.
