During his lifetime, Rameau enjoyed a glittering reputation and was admired by all Europe, while Debussy’s Hommage à Rameau proves that his fame survived down the centuries. But what do we know about the rest of the Rameau family? After a highly acclaimed album devoted to the Forqueray family (ALPHA247, Gramophone Editor’s Choice, Choc of the year 2016 in Classica, Grand Prix de l’Académie Charles Cros), our harpsichordist-genealogist Justin Taylor sets out on the trail of Jean-Philippe’s son Claude-François and his nephew Lazare. To be sure, Rameau’s genius dwarfs all around him, as is demonstrated by such pieces as La Livri, La Poule and L’Égyptienne, not to mention the magnificent Nouvelle Suite in A minor, but the music of his descendants has its own interest. Justin Taylor introduces us to a work by Claude-François Rameau (La Forqueray) and the Sonata no.1 in E major by Lazare Rameau. He switches from the splendid harpsichord of the Château d’Assas (a two-manual instrument of the first half of the eighteenth century, attributed to the Lyon-based maker Donzelague) to the 1891 Érard piano of the Musée de la Musique in Paris for Debussy’s tribute to his great predecessor.

I don’t have to agree with all of his decisions to know that this guy is a world-class harpsichordist.

[@matteomagurno3068]

Why do you say that? Is there any controversy?

[@parallelfifths2824]

​@@matteomagurno3068 No, not at all. I mean to say that I wouldn't have played the piece the same way, but that doesn't affect my opinion of him as a player.

[@most_sane_piano_enthusiast]

that mini cadenza after the diminished 7th arpeggio is gold

[@YoItsM0]

He actually manages to make the harpsichord sound smooth - playing with structured rhythm rather than the ridiculous exaggeration of every phrase that the average player is taught to do in order to sound "correct".
This is proof that you can play how you like to play, let the instrument decide how it wants to speak!

100%

I am able to play this piece, however, I am nowhere skilled enough to add my own little details, unlike this man. Honestly impressed with his performance and I hope to see more!

Justin, you kicked something all over the block with this. The Cool is All On You.
From the video, I needed how you played that one repeating, intricate passage on the same, lower keyboard. I read somewhere that Scarlatti (with, thank you, that many comparably virtuosic sonatas) only used single-manual harpsichords. Until today, I'd only seen that happen once, in a semi-local concert. Musical illiterate that I am, it's very cool to see the same fingering techniques transition from Scarlatti to Rameau (or did it go the opposite way?).

[@alessandramurgia5409]

Bravissimo!

[@litoboy5]

great

即興の天才、イーゴリ・キプニスに勝るとも劣らぬ男の登場だ。

[@frhost8889]

Un brin rapide non !?
Toujours est-il que cet air reste du Rameau somptueux.
Me demande-je Jean Rondeau n'a-t-il pas jouer un Vertigo sur ce même clavecin dans cette demeure ?

[@dianam3641]

Je me suis posée la même question et on dirait bien qu'il s'agit de la même pièce !

[@marcelnoya]

Ja… ik geloof dat de Fransman gelijk heeft met zijn commentaar

[@ShiryuCain]

Je suis d'accord, Taylor est génial mais il joue un peu comme s'il cherchait à battre un record de vitesse.
Je préfère l'interprétation de Sokolov mais eh, cette pièce reste un foutu chef-d'oeuvre.

[@slamdunker6926]

I like it fast lol cus I've heard it that fast too many times in TWW.

[@iama8537]

Il avait un avion a prendre?

[@chenharry4848]

🔥🔥🔥👍👍❤️❤️❤️🔥👍❤️

[@video_camera]

Any reason why Rameau's Les Cylopes and Moyreau's Les Cyclopes Forgeants Le Foudre Meurtrier D'Esculape share both similar titles and similar structures?

[@paulcaswell2813]

Nice playing; superb instrument. Pity about the over-busy camera-work though. Thanks for the upload.

[@UsoraMiau33]

how does a harpsichord work? is it like a harp inside a piano?

[@seguismundoxavier426]

Beautiful Music for vitality, Wat mean?
