Tirza Piepers is a talented Dutch recorder player. Here, playing Dieupart's Première Suitte, she is accompanied by Chris Farr on Harpsichord. However, the harpsichord player on the picture is IJsbrand ter Haar, who is (of course) also a gifted musician.
I like this better than the Colpron recording of this as it neither so shrill or manically dysfunctional mentally.The tone and ornamentation is quite charming but the structure is handled overbearingly and too unsubtly and so gains an elephantine clumsiness about it.These two play very well with each other.
