Jean Rondeau Harpsichord Recital

The gifted harpsichordist performs a masterpiece of the French Baroque on the world premiere of the early French style harpsichord by David Ray!
Jean Rondeau, a gifted harpsichordist who continues to attract great attention in Japan and abroad for his brilliant performances that are always full of spark and surprise. In his long-awaited first appearance at Philia Hall, Rondeau will perform a program centered on the core works of Louis Couperin!
Louis Couperin's suite of masterpieces is often featured in recitals, but a program united around these works is a rarity in the world, and this alone is surely a rare opportunity to enjoy Rondeau's one and only creative sound world. Another highlight of the recital, however, will be the first public performance of Japan's only 17th-century French-style harpsichord (early French), built in the workshop of David Ray, a master harpsichordist trusted by the world's top harpsichordists! Not the later style conventionally used in French Baroque professional recitals, but an instrument in the style most suited to the works of Louis Couperin, a leading composer of the early Baroque, and a group of masterpieces spun by a genius.
Don't miss this opportunity to hear what is sure to be an "affair" that will attract the attention of fellow harpsichordists and antiquarians from around the world!
