    Introduced by Sara Mohr-Pietsch
    .

    Bach: Prelude from Partita in C minor, BWV997; Fantasia in C minor, BWV906
    Scarlatti: Sonatas in C, Kk132; in A minor, Kk175; in A, Kk208; in D, Kk119
    Bach (after Marcello): Adagio from Concerto in D minor, BWV974
    Scarlatti: Sonatas in F, Kk6; in F minor, Kk481
    Bach, arr. Brahms: Chaconne from the Violin Partita No 2 in D minor, BWV 1004
    Live from Wigmore Hall, London, harpsichordist Jean Rondeau plays Bach and Scarlatti.

        An advantage of listening to a broadcast rather than attending a concert?

          I think it's probably just a passing phase! But close your eyes and listen...he is a masterful harpsichordist, capable of being dazzling but tender as well.

              Enjoyed his performance as always, but he does bear a worrying resemblance to Blake's Nebuchadnezzar, doesn't he
              And the tune ends too soon for us all

                It was a great concert but when I listen to harpsichord works at home, I like it somewhat less exciting.
