Jacques Duphly died in 1789 the day after the storming of the Bastille. He is the very last of the French Harpsichord School which had lasted for nearly 200 years. His music was lost in tbe chaos of the French Revolution and did not come to full light until near the end of the 20th Century. His 4 books of harpsichord pieces (published between 1745 and 1768) contain 46 separate works which are as luscious as they are varied. They run the full gamut from the exquisitely crafted dances of the High French Baroque to the Galant\Roccoco style which rapidly took over the musical world after 1750. Here for the first time is a milestone recording of Du Phly's complete harpsichord pieces which demonstrate his extraordinary range and diversity over a long and distinguished career. Magnificent in their craftsmanship and also profoundly soulful these 46 examples of the harpsichordist's art provide a fitting conclusion to two centuries of French Harpsichord Music. Newly recorded in a lush spacious acoustic of at Temple Beth Israel in Jackson, Ms by engineer and the instrument's builder, Anden Houben.
The harpsichord used for this recording is an Anden Houben double (8, 8, 4) completed in 2000. It is an adaptation of the often-copied Antoine Vaudry instrument of 1691 (original housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London) with the spine extended by four inches. The instrument is non-transposing, and is thus permanently pitched at A=392. The temperament used throughout the recording is Kirnberger III.
