A fantastic new release! Immerseel presents a personal selection of seven masters of French 18th century harpsichord music music on three original instruments, excellently recorded, the perfect box for anybody wishing for an exemplary compilation of pieces, but also great for someone like me who knows all these pieces as it is thrilling to hear how he chooses tempos and how he articulates his embellishments. Highly recommended! 

With this release Immerseel appears as the grand old gentleman of Flemish harpsichord playing. Why did he keep this for himself for so long? He rarely recorded as a solo harpsichordist, mostly solo and chamber music on fortepiano, and as a conductor with excellent results. 

Next I will spin this excellent rare SACD:

Interesting; I wasn't aware that Horowitz recorded for EMI.  These recordings aren't in the Sony box (for obvious reasons).  How's the sound quality?

Sound quality is enjoyable as is often the case with 'piano' recordings from this period compared to orchestral music from the period.
