Jacques Duphly 'La Felix' Leonhardt harpsichord

[Tbro13oo]

...Duphly is rococo chronologically, with the difference that his conscious influences go all the way back to Louis Couperin and Chambonniers. Inimitable.

Many thanks to whoever uploaded this. Not heard since the ABC/Seon LP (1977?), bought new with allowance money.

The harpsichord is after Taskin (not, if memory serves, a rebuild of a Ruckers), conspicuously featuring a peau de bouffle stop (jacks are leather instead of quill, which is where the bass is coming from), of which Leonhardt made brilliant use. Leonhardt was the 1st proponent I know of to really 'get' inegalite. Almost syncopation in slow motion. Cf. F. Couperin, Prelude #7, l'Art....

Wonderful phrasing ... amazingly great harpsichord sound (was it the harpsichord built by Martin Skowroneck of Bremen for Gustav?)
