More Details on Purcell - Keyboard Suites & Grounds
In his latest solo recital for harmonia mundi, Richard Egarr turns to the rarely heard harpsichord Suites by Henry Purcell. In his beautifully shaped reading, these eight muscular and quirky works, published the year after Purcell's death, are interspersed with seven shorter pieces built on a recurring pattern - a chaconne, a rondeau and five 'grounds'.
Richard Egarr has worked with all types of keyboards and is in great demand both as soloist and as accompanist.
Recorded October 13-15, 2007, Potton Hall.
