This disc, the short program and not particularly attractive for a music lover with the integrals of harpsichord pieces and very satisfying musical Parnassus, is a magnificent example.
This simplicity in turns of phrase, delicacy of touch by William Christie and the roundness of the harpsichord William Dowd beautifully captured by Jean-Francois Pontrefact magnifies the clarity, balance, and the simple majesty of this music which n ' is reminiscent of the qualities of the harpsichord music of Johann Sebastian Bach in this refinement, this square appearance but also a bit gallant, this fusion between greatness, dancing and ornaments of French music, the passion and fluidity but also the cantabile of Italian music with a good mix in balancing the very German counterpoint.
While I think that the music of Johann Caspar Ferdinand Fischer, among the favorite composers from Bach and inspired him including the Well-Tempered Clavier, deserves obtains his complete collections, this pioneer disk may be the best introduction to the music of this composer or even a beautiful complement / deepening those who already own the integrals of Parnassus Musical by Mitzi Meyerson or Musicalisches Blumen-Büschlein Olga Martynova.
