French Baroque rarities delight in this substantial recital. I must admit I wasn t familiar with the composers on this disc, but they re both discoveries that I m happy to have made. Performing here on two magnificent Ruckers keyboards from the early 17th century, Karen Flint plays these French Baroque works with an exquisitely light touch, presenting Lebègue and Hardel s dances in the best possible way. The complete harpsichord works of Lebègue consist of his 1677 Les Pièces de Clavessin, and the 1687 Second Livre de Clavessin. Notably, it s in the earlier collection that the very first unmeasured preludes (a form of prelude where each note s duration is at the performer s discretion) are contained. Most of the three discs are devoted to Lebègue s music, but the potential dullness of a standardised sound is allayed through clever use of the two harpsichords. Although it s not stated which one is used where, the benefit is clear in the pleasantly twangy Suitte en F ut fa, a very different sound from the richer instrument used elsewhere. Poor Jacques Hardel left only about 20 minutes of music, but it is extraordinarily beautiful. The noble Courante d Ardelle, transcribed from a lute original, is particularly affecting. The liner notes are extraordinarily detailed in their descriptions of the music perhaps excessively so. Was it so essential to include an inventory of both composers possessions at their deaths? In any case, this is a fine recital, and a real treat for Baroque fans. Paul Ballam-Cross, Limelight
