The tempo's erratic? The opening of the Prelude is actually unmeasured (no bar lines) - it's supposed to sound like free improvisation, which it does...

[beethomozart]

Rameau was a virtuoso harpsichordist that published 3 books with pieces for this instrument. from 1706 dates the 1st book, this instrument is really ear appealing, with a peaceful sound that gives me the sensation to get back to those long gone days!

Rameau was a genius! Worthy of the same revere as Bach, Handel and Telemann!

[KhagarBalugrak]

@beethomozart, indeed, classical music has degenerated into hideous atonality. Pieces like these remind us of what music ought to be...and that there were great composers from countries other than Germany just as good as Bach, Mozart and Beethoven.

[fultoso]

very nice version. Rameau would be grateful to you :-)

[Rooneyette]

This is wonderfully executed. Wonderful! I just adore harpsichord!

A rarified, inspired reading. Some of the best Rameau I've heard in years. Bravissimo!

From Wikipedia: "Pièces de Clavecin" was the first published work of Jean-Philippe Rameau (in 1706) and is said to be partly influenced by the music of his friend, French Baroque organist, harpsichordist and composer, Louis Marchand. However, Rameau became most known for his work on music theory and, later, won fame for his operatic compositions. Recent decades have seen a renewal of the popularity of his work.

[flammesombres]

wonderful.

[irishmaestro]

He appears to be using the Baerenreiter edition - which mis-interprets the transition between the unmeasured bit ad the 12 8 section. The unmeasured bit ought to be repeated, the a minor semibreve chord being omitted the second time round.
