Blandine Rannou questioned on this booklet (see Diapason No. 628) said with wonderful images its unique place in the Baroque repertoire. His immediate attraction, theater, variety almost arrogant (anything and everything, Rameau signature in each opus), its tubes (soft Cupis, the dazzling Forquerays) already seduced piano trios in the time of Saint-Saëns - which in the Durand edition retricotait discreetly harpsichord part for his instrument. A version "by sextet" anonymous but contemporary transcription of Rameau, was the delight chamber orchestras in the 1930s. Leonhardt, Harnoncourt and Fryden returned to the trio in the mid 1950. After them, all the great harpsichord cherished a collection where their instrument size the lion's share and enjoys writing sounding incredibly well on condition of control codes - Rameau also stipulates in its preface that the keyboard part is sufficient in itself and invites to play alone.One hour for sixteen pieces high in colors: ideal specifications for the concert as for the disk.
