A treat for those who like classical piano

Historically Informed Performing Practice 

Have you heard the Vikingur Olaffson album that pairs Ramsay and Debussy?  Thanks for the link

I’ll have to find Hewitt Rameau.  I’ve found her Bach to be generally good but somewhat uneven.

  @newbee so my first Rameau exposure was around 30 years ago when the Naxos label emerged with budget Classical CDs and greatly expanded the repertoire of previously unrecorded music, particularly Baroque.  There were a few albums of Harpsichord music that made me a Rameau convert, and later several suites of Ballet and incidental music from operas ( a lot of the aforementioned keyboard music reappeared here orchestrated).  I don’t remember the harpsichord player name and will have to check my shelves.  The playing is filled with gusto and the instrument sounds large and powerful, so Historically Informed Performance devotees may not like it, although the Orchestral suites are HIPP approved).

Gilbert Rowland is the harpsichordist on the Naxos albums that I referenced earlier 

Scriabin is one composer that just never clicked with me.  It puzzles me because Chopin, Debussy, and Rachmaninov are 3 of my essentials, but outside of the odd bit from a Horowitz recital, he bores me
