Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Rameau: Harpsichord Music (Complete), Vol. 2.......2007-05-25

1. Gilbert Rowland's playing was first-rate on Vol. 2 (as good as Vol. 1)
2. This is the best harpsichord music recording I've heard in quite awhile. (This quality level equals that of Vol. 1)
3. The price ($6/US) was a bonus! (same as Vol. 1)

I rate this five stars!

5 out of 5 stars Joyful and exuberant; Delicate and sensitive delivery.......2002-12-17

This album takes the full range of the harpsichord instrument with all its embellishments. Highly complex composition with the left carrying the bass. The right carrying the melody. Alternating harmonies. All registers explored. It is hardly apparent that the harpsichord has limited dynamic range. This is due to the skill of the composer (Jean-Philippe Rameau) and the skill of the performer (Gilbert Rowland). This particular album contains the breadth and depth of Rameau's mastery of the solo instrument of the mid-1700s (Suite in A minor, Suite in G major, Pieces de Clavecin en Concerts, La Daphine), all written for the harpsichord. Add this album to your valuable collection of 18th century music.

          5 out of 5 stars A "Switched-On" gem!.......2004-02-29

          There was a time when I first saw this CD in a store. While I looked on back for the listing of the pieces, I read the print on the bottom that mentioned what kinds of instruments did Bob James played. One of them was the Mini-Moog. It also mentioned "Oberheim," "Roland," and "Yamaha." These names made me think they're synthesizers. I suspected this must be inspired by Wendy Carlos' interpretation of Bach. However, I didn't want to waste my money on a full priced CD. I wanted to get it on sale.

          Well, one day I was at a flea market looking through CDs. In that box of compact discs was THAT particular one. I got that for about $10! When I first listened to the CD back home, it was very much what I expected. I'm not a jazz fan and I don't have to be. This particular one that Bob James did is not jazz but classical (very much like the way Wendy Carlos did on "Switched-On Bach"). The only non-synthesized instrument I heard is the piano. It blended in very well with the synthesizers. Did you know that Bob James' "Rameau" and Wendy Carlos' Switched-On albums were originally issued by CBS Masterworks? There's something in common besides performing on synthesizers.

          Years later (sometime after Y2K), I wonder if amazon.com would list that particular CD. What a discovery! It is listed! But, as you may notice, it's out-of-print and it could be hard to get. In case you wanna know, I still have that CD in mint condition. I'm telling you out there reading this review, if you like the "Switched-On" albums by Wendy Carlos, you may wanna look for this out-of-print CD of Rameau's music. I think this shoud be back in print. Oh yes, also look for "The Scarlatti Dialogues!"

          5 out of 5 stars Tres Grand!.......2002-11-02

          Bob James' first classical release is a true gem in every sense! It started as a Christmas present for family and friends, but soon expanded into its present form. The charming "Fanfarinette" starts us off. Rameau's most popular keyboard work, "Gavotte with 6 Doubles", is given an intense treatment here. Two contrasting Minuets follow. "La Livri" is given a slightly faster rendering than usual. "L'Arlequinade" is elegant and graceful. "La Timide" are two rondos pieced as one. "L'indescreet, another rondo with it's theme in thirds, ends the first half. The harmonically challenging "La Chasse" starts the second half. "La Nais de Solongne" feature Bob at the acoustic piano along with the synths. "La Soupirs" is as a gentle breeze. "Air Pour L'Esclaves Africans" is a broody piece. "Les Triolets" is soft and quiet. We close with two contrasting tambourins, the first given rubatos and accelerandos throughout. Bob uses synth percussion to great effect here. I would also recommend that the listener find Bob's 1988 recording, THE SCARLATTI DIALOGUES.

          5 out of 5 stars Wonderful!.......2001-06-21

          This is an absolutely marvellous CD. I am a classical music lover, particularly of the baroque period and preferably with original instruments. But then I heard a snatch of this on the radio and bought it - and was immediately charmed. I'd say that it is definitely NOT for purists - the sometimes odd synthesised sounds, the swapping of the musical strands from one speaker to the other and back again, sometimes rapidly alternating, will probably be regarded by some as tasteless. However, for me, none of this takes away from the beauty of the creations of Jean-Philippe Rameau, one of the great figures of 18th. century French music, and Bob James does him both homage and justice. I simply never tire of listening to it.

          5 out of 5 stars Perfect Baroque CD!.......2000-10-10

          Ive owned this CD for years, even went through two cassettes until I upgraded.

          This is the greatest Baroque CD I have and is one of my top 5 classical CDs.

          Slow moving, beautifull Baroque strings with familiar themes. Dark, dramatic, sad & captures the period.

          5 out of 5 stars Beautiful!.......2000-09-20

          I personally think this CD is the best selection and introduction for baroque music! Simply beautiful!

          This wonderful CD is a collection of ten "Baroque hits." Sporting twelve tracks, it has an excellent, reflective quality that makes it great listening. Indeed, as the cover suggests, listening to it while soaking in a relaxing bath is an excellent idea!

          I found the quality to be excellent and the choice of tunes perfect. I highly recommend this CD to all Baroque fans.

          Since it doesn't appear here, the twelve tracks ate:
          Albinoni, Tomaso - Adagio in G Minor
          Johann Pachelbel - Canon and Gigue in D
