Description:

This is the first solo album by Julia Nuti, a British harpsichordist who performs extensively throughout Europe, released on the German label Harmonia Mundi.In late 18th-century Paris, the harpsichord was the most important instrument and occupied a central role in musical performance. Harpsichord makers continually refined their instruments to meet the diverse demands of various composers, and as a result, the French harpsichord underwent a unique evolution distinct from its Italian and German counterparts.In addition to Mozarts famous Sonata in A minor, this album features harpsichord works by four composers. All of these keyboard pieces were either written or published in Paris between the 1760s and 1770s and represent the works of the final generation of composers who played a pivotal role in the development of French clavichord music.Hrmander, a native of Arras, was active in Paris and Lond
