Stereo: http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=glm4NuYF-8I&fmt=18 Jean-Philippe Rameau (1682 - 1764). Pièces de clavecin en concerts (Premier concert): 1. La Coulicam. 2. La Livri. 3. Le Vézinet. Mitzi Meyerson: Harpsichord. Monica Huggett: Baroque violin. Sarah Cunningham: Viola da gamba. The exact date of publication, at Rameau's own expense, of the Nouvelles Suites de Pièces de Clavecin remains a matter of some controversy. In his 1958 edition of the works, the editor Erwin Jacobi gave 1728 as the original publication date. Kenneth Gilbert, in his 1979 edition, followed suit. Others later argued that these works did not appear until 1729 or 1730. However, a recent reexamination of the publication date, based on the residence Rameau provided in the frontispiece (Rue des deux boules aux Trois Rois), suggests an earlier date, since Rameau's residence had changed by 1728. As a result of this and other evidence, the closest approximation for the original publication date stands between February 1726 and the summer of 1727. This dating is given further authentication by the comments of Friedrich Wilhelm Marpurg, who provided their publication date as 1726. There are almost 40 extant copies of the original 1726/27 edition still in existence. Two later editions followed both around 1760. The first (printed perhaps slightly before 1760) was simply a reimpression of the original engravings, although several plates were reengravings, suggesting that the original plates had undergone sufficient impression to wear them down to a state of illegibility. A second appeared in London under the title A Collection of Lessons for the harpsichord from the printer John Walsh which was based on the earlier Parisian edition.

Dec 31, 2007 - Hi, Critics always result in more or less fortunate misunderstandings and i'm not going to talk about music. I respect all the comments but it seems that people hurt me with words where it's more painfull. It's unbelivable. One comment it's ok... four offensive comments about the same musician it's to much and sounds like a persecution. I don't like so many... do you see my comments about the music that i don't like? Well, they aren't in any place, i reserved that to me.

Jan 6, 2008 - I don't find it clinical at all. Austere and restrained maybe, but not clinical. There's plenty of life and feeling in this, I think it's a brilliant performance. :-)

Feb 9, 2008 - Hi anonimoalfin , Thank you for your kind words and comment. I agree with you... There are some people that use the Inspector Gadget or Pet Detective style when they are listening the music. Kind regards and thank you.

Apr 1, 2008 - Well I liked it! This set of concerts is one of my favouritest pieces of music ever. I like la Premier and la Cinquienne the best. The tempo in this is slower than I usually hear it, but just by a little bit, and that is not a bad thing; and the harpsichord has a more prominent sound in the recording. The trills are very crisply rounded but gently enough to really chew on.

Apr 23, 2008 - Solamente debo decir que es una de las piezas mas bellas que he oido, cada ves que la oigo parece que sintiera lo que quieres decir el compositor...
danastonn Says:
Apr 27, 2008 - The 'Pièces de clavecin en concerts' is some of the most exquisite music ever composed, and this particular performance does Rameau every bit of justice. Bravissimo Monica Huggett, Mitzi Meyerson and Sarah Cunningham for your extraordinary musicianship. This performance is subtle, beautifully articulated and passionate.

Jun 10, 2008 - Hi, I'm really glad you've put this up. I love these concerts. It's great music to work to. I myself have a different recording so I find it very interesting to compare between different musician's techniques. The recording I have is Trevor Pinnock, Rachel Podger and Jonathan Manson.

Jun 18, 2008 - I have this concert with Jean-Pierre Rampal playing the flute lead. A French low-price vinyl LP, released during the 1970´s. Label: Musidisc-Gravure Universelle. The LP cover shows a painting of the Versailles château garden. This recording is one of my best records ever. If you love Rameau and the flute and you find this LP, in a second-hand seller´s shop or anywhere, get it. This here version with the violin is a little slower and a bit drowsy in tone.
