Jory Vinikour is one of the four or five great harpsichordists presently on the concert platform. I believe this recording was sponsored by the National Trust and recorded on an 18th century English instrument. Thank you for sharing this magnificent performance.

[OperaFan22]

who are the other four harpsichordists?

[wandalewlandowska]

Dear boy, we share the fault as I wasn't certain it was you, either. Must say I'm still a bit bothered that you called me a diseased v whilst Phil drove you to your flight. Did you take a plane? You're still my favourite nephew & your Champetre is even better than mine, you little minx. I'm sure the Scots loved your performance. Last week, your aunt Gwendolyn & I grabbed a couple of dishy young men in kilts outside the Scottish Parliament to entertain for the evening. Pity we missed you, dear!

[Harpsicat]

Dear Auntie,

Sorry!!!! Just performed Poulenc in Scotland. Tons of fun!

[wandalewlandowska]

I prefer not to say as they're all friends.... I mentioned Vinikour because no one would dispute my description of that incomparable artist.

[wandalewlandowska]

Jesus, Mary and Joseph! I just realised to whom I'm writing. A thousand pardons, my dear boy. You must know that Phil is rebuilding that very instrument as I write, as if it needed anything. Be a nice boy, then, and stop by for a nice cup of tea when time allows. You aren't very good about keeping in touch with your auntie.

[wandalewlandowska]

Thanks for the correction, Harpsicat; my mistake. Phil rebuilt my 1931 Pleyel and I've been to the beautiful home he shares with Dave and Nefertiti. Small world, is it not?

[Harpsicat]

Hi, Wanda!!! No, this was recorded on a most spendid instrument built by a certain Cucchiara in Cleveland. It sounds much better than the instrument in the National Trust at Fenton House.
