The first volume seems to be oop - waitiing for a reissue in alpha's new series. Used copies are expensive.

This should definitely happen - the original release was laden with awards and seemingly a good seller too ....

The former is the only recording of a manuscript discovered in 2005 whose first part was attributed to Louis Marchand in an article never published, as far as I can see. Experts - like Moroney, who delivers an excellent performance of Marchand's printed works in the latter CD - has his doubt as long as he has not examined the manuscript and thinks the music on Martinoli's CD belongs to a writer from a stylistically later era - it sounds just this to to my ears, too. Might be from one of Marchand's students - a simplified version of one his pieces points in this direction, at least to me. Moroney's disc portaits a harpsichord virtuoso of the highest ranks - the music from the 1754 manuscript is abit too simply structured for a composer of his stature.

One of the few recordings of harpsichord music of this era on a Thuringian instrument - sounds great on it, and Charlston plays Handel's famous Blacksmith Variations better and more convincing than anybody else I have heard.

Beautiful underrated music.

JPC and others currently have a price reduction on the Divine Arts label - I heartily recommend any recording of Terence Charlston or the Avison Ensemble.
