This recording
by fine French harpsichordist Christophe Rousset exposes some music from
beyond the famous names of the French Baroque. The central attraction
is a pair of suites and three characteristic pieces by Louis Marchand,
an organist at Versailles who is famous in musical history for having
supposedly ducked an organ duel with J.S. Bach. His two suites recorded
here were composed in 1702 and 1706, and thus are almost contemporary
with the early Rameau Suite in A minor (1706), from his first book of
keyboard suites. All the suites consist of a rhythmically free,
quasi-improvised prelude followed by a series of stylized dances; three
short character pieces by Marchand are also included as a sort of
entr'acte.
Nevertheless, the music by Marchand and that by Rameau make
diametrically different impressions stylistically, and Rousset plays
these differences to the hilt. The pieces by Marchand reside low on the
keyboard; they have gravity and soberness and they look back to the
golden age of the 17th century French courts. The Rameau suite, early
though it is, offers a perfect specimen of his style: it is muscular and
harmonically inventive, often proceeding in dense bricks of chords. The
result is a program that brings French Baroque keyboard music alive,
aided by a mighty instrument: a 1716 Donzélague two-manual harpsichord
with an extended bottom range. Highly recommended for Baroque keyboard
fans.
