Rameau and the Harpsichord
Sophie Yates visits the Russell Collection in Edinburgh to play Rameau's music on three double-manual French harpsichords made in the late 1700s.
Sophie Yates visits The Russell Collection of Early Keyboard Instruments in Edinburgh to play extracts from Rameau's Pièces de clavecin on three extraordinary double-manual French harpsichords made in the late 1700s and fully restored to playing condition. She talks to the museum's curator, Darryl Martin, about the history of the instruments, and to harpsichord maker Andrew Garlick about how they each produce their own unique sound.
